Lying in the dark, can I still feel myself if I cannot see myself?
What is that, that glides against my skin? If I cannot see it to engage my preconceptions of fear or delight, can I simply be with the experience of sensation?
Can I do the same with the experiences of my life – those unexpected “bumps” against people and situations? Can I close my eyes and imagine I am in the dark, feeling the impact without knowing it as good or bad?
My prayer? To feel in the darkness and delight in the newness. To welcome that which the light reveals through night vision.
