It is said God dwells in thick darkness.
We can’t imagine how thick.
Sometimes the darkness is so thick
it holds you up.
Sometimes the mystery is so complete
the fear so deep, you can only trust.
Sometimes in the deepest dark, alone,
we feel another hand, unseen, in our hand.
And sometimes the darkness is so solid
that the darkness itself gently holds our hand.
Sometimes the unknowing is so absolute
you know you couldn’t have made this up.
Sometimes darkness
is a way of knowing God.
