To Go into the Dark

Tonight is the longest night of the year. Tomorrow will follow with the shortest day of the year and then the Earth will begin a slow re-birth toward Spring. May this dark night be filled with light and  promise for you!

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 travelled by dark feet and dark wings.

Wendell Berry
