Waiting in the dark...

Between the great dramas of life, there is almost always a time of empty waiting – with nothing to do and no church service to help – a time when it is necessary to come up with your own words and see how they sound with no other sounds to cover them up.  If you are willing to rest in this Sabbath, where you cannot see your hand in front of your face and none of your self-protective labors can do you one bit of good, then you may come as close to Christ as you will ever get – there in that quiet cave where you wait to see how the Maker of All Life will choose to come to you in the dark.

--Barbara Brown Taylor, Waiting in the Dark
