Rock Salt and Lava Lamps – The Nature of Light

Greetings Dear Reader,

I have only been in total darkness a handful of times.  A few times I have been in caves.  Where I used to teach there was a professional dark room for photography.  As humans we are rarely in complete darkness.  There is  a true sense of disorientation in total darkness. 

The nature of light is that the darker it is the less light is necessary to cause stark contrast.  Some of us fear the dark.  I have never met someone who fears light.  It is light that draws us.  It is light in which most of us labor. 

A single match struck in the darkness of a moonless night can be seen from a mile away.  That is the nature of light.  Light draws us.  I am to draw people.  Light makes us feel safe.  I am supposed to make others feel safe.  As we look at the light aspect of this time together we need to remember that the light that we bear is not our own. 

Light of the World – Michael Card

  

You are the Light of the World oh Lord

You make Your servants shine

So how could there be any darkness in me

If You are the Light of the World

You are the Light of the World

You are the Bread of Life oh Lord

Broken to set us free

So how could there be any hunger in me

If You are the Bread of Life

You are the Bread of Life

You've overcome the world oh Lord

And given us victory

So how could I fear when trouble is near

If You've overcome the world

You've overcome the world

Wipe every tear away oh Lord

And teach us the song of the Lamb

The promise is true but it's still up to You

To wipe every tear away

Wipe every tear away

Wipe every tear away

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn
