On Darkness Cathy's email shared her sister Carol quoting Pir Elias Amidon: "Between the dark sky and the dark earth we hang a light in a dark tree and sing of our wonder together". Bruce Tinsley's "Mallard Fillmore" comics "A blessed Christmas to you" quotes John 1:5 "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings. Giocondo: There is radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see, and to see we have only to look. I beseech you to look! Helen Keller: "Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content." Borges: I live among vague, luminous shapes that are not darkness yet... My friends have no faces... no letters on the pages of books. Daylight not superior to dark night we need cooling from the sun's heat, a sense of balance in yin and yang, not good and evil in black and white. Darkest day of the year at Winter Solstice— Before the cosmos "Let there be light", there was darkness, the Unmanifest— our Father we return to each night in sleep. — Peter Y.
