Leave The Light On

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. ~Chinese Proverb
(When we go to the hospital next week, I am going to take a night light to ward of evil spirits.)

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
(Nickolas and Sara are my stained-glass windows; each beautiful in their own way. They have had their share of darkness and the light within them has revealed their true beauty.)

The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
(Why must we have mosquitoes? Silly people...maybe?)

Though my soul may set in darkness,
It will rise in perfect light,
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night.
~Sarah Williams

Leave the light on for we will soon be home. Guide us to safe harbor and keep us from crashing on the rocks we cannot see in the darkness.
