The Sun always rises

As cries are absorbed into silence, the sun always rises just when the night seems like it will never end, as the sky holds everything flying and everything fall, there is something indestructible at the center of each of us….    Mark Nepo, Book of Awakening

Lord

I have a complaint about the way you designed the world

what is it with short winter days anyway

I hate getting up in the darkness

I have getting home in the darkness

I hate sitting at my table in the morning

looking through windows that

merely look back

showing nothing but the darkness beyond

there is something about dark places Lord

whether they be outside us

or inside us

that is scary

and perhaps

perhaps

a bit sacred

in the darkness we are left alone with ourselves

and we sink into the depths

where the creatures of the night

the things we would rather not see

and think about

dwell

but in that deep place

there is something else

there is that something indestructible

there is our authentic

created to be self

there is Love

that seed of the Sacred

that presence that is you

and so at times

it may seem as if the sun will never rise

it always does
