An impenetrable shadow has shrunken to fit my form, obscurity stubbornly clings to my eyes and now more often than not I trouble myself to stop this sightless stumble, to lay myself down never again to wake. My words, hurriedly fleeing the approaching blackness, have disappeared. Not adjective nor noun stayed to accompany, nary a verb remained to plead absolution from this bondage. This darkness wants me to believe that because You are unseen, Your face is not turned toward mine. But faith tells me that I do not walk alone that sightless is not the same as blind, and that my guide is higher than I. There is something to be learned here, inside this persistent emptiness; and I must find it before the darkness crumples with me inside. Perhaps in the morning, yes, perhaps in the rising Light I shall be able to write... |

"But faith tells me that I do not walk alone that sightless is not the same as blind, and that my guide is higher than I." Exquisite, JB! It is so hard to grasp this concept at times when we believe we are alone. We must remind ourselves that He sits at our side. All things are possible through He who strengthens me. I say this every morning when I rise, and then the light streams in. |

This darkness wants me to believe that because You are unseen, Your face is not turned toward mine. It is persuasive, isn't it? But... you know better... and you know to listen with your heart, not just your ears. *S* This is beautifully touching, my friend. |

jellybeans "Perhaps in the morning, yes, perhaps in the rising Light I shall be able to write..." I have said this to myself many times. |

It's always difficult, knowing there must be something we're supposed to learn, but not quite knowing what, or how. He says our weakness shows his strength, and that's what I always tried to cling to. You've said it all so well. I've missed being here to read your wonderful words. hang in there, k?Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |
