On grounds of agony, and to forsake
Not only bliss, but all that's blessed by light.

Yet darkness lets the stars shine bright.

See him in the corners hidin' frae the licht,
See him at the window gloomin' at the nicht...

Forget your perfect offering.

May sit i' the centre, and enjoy bright day:
But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts
Benighted walks under the mid-day sun;
Himself his own dungeon.

It will rise in perfect light,
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night.

Your life is something opaque, not transparent, as long as you look at it in an ordinary human way. But if you hold it up against the light of God's goodness, it shines and turns transparent, radiant and bright. And then you ask yourself in amazement: Is this really my own life I see before me?

You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light. Barry Lopez
