Darkness Into Light #11 - Embracing Dark and Light.

It is a new year. The Earth’s northern hemisphere now emerges from the farthest point of our annual orbit around the Sun: a time of deepening darkness, then the inevitable return of light. For me this season is a time to revisit, and embrace, the dark shadows of life, with the reassurance we will once again turn toward the light. 

“Yet, no matter how deeply I go down into myself, my God is dark, and like a webbing made of a hundred roots that drink in silence.” (Rainer Maria Rilke)
