Loss and Darkness


This place of loss and darkness—we’ve been here before…in transitional stages, birth, adolescence, school, vocation, war, marriage, …to death, whether those we love, or ourselves. What gives us strength, the courage to continue?

One hears on the news that people are returning to family time, creativity, connection, stories. Past cultures gathered together in slow times (winter), those times when story, community, family, played a larger role: time of rest and replenishment, especially of the spirit.
