Monthly Invitation to Rest Ep 6: Going dark

‘I have learned things in the dark that I could never have learned in the light, things that have saved my life over and over again, so that there is really only one logical conclusion. I need darkness as much as I need light,” writes Barbara Brown Taylor. Here in December in the northern hemisphere (as also in the southern hemisphere in fact), holiday lights drape over houses and trees and across high streets of busy shops. But rest, offers poet Fenton Johnson, is not only brought on by cheer and twinkling lights, but by the generous dark. Many thanks to our new listeners for joining us!
