Out of the Dark Days
In the desert, they cry when the rain floods their lives after months of starvation, drought, and famine.
In the sea, they gasp for breath as the foamy white turquoise rolls over their heads for a last reprieve.
In their hearts, they sing and dance when they see sunlight in their Dark Days, when they fall out and find hope, courage, and grace. When their blinders are lifted, they squint as the brightness surrounds them with an unearthly light, and, for the first time, they know what it is to be free.
