“At some point in our lives, we may find ourselves in crisis, inwardly, in a great and abiding darkness that knows no boundary or expiration. I feel that those who have traveled here are, in a sense, explorers… of a terrain that none would voluntarily enter. In a sense I can appreciate… they are heroic.

But in great darkness, even the slightest glow stands out to one’s inner senses. And thus we may take heart that what seems blindness can become another way of seeing. One that can sense the subtle shadings that are invisible to us in the light of our ordinary way of being in the world.”
