Dec 19

Draw me into the depths.

Take me down to the holy darkness to Love’s roots.

I lean into that darkness,

The darkness that surrounds me,

This nurturing room for my restless spirit.

For I have seen too many stars,

Too many stars to let the darkness overwhelm me

— M. Wiederkehr, V. Frye from 'Leaning into the Darkness'
