BriAnne's post tonight on Bri Colorful about graduation plans and going forth to serve inspired me to post this.
Enya's "May it be" - what beautiful music. From the Lord of the Rings sound track

These lyrics speak to my heart about the journey each of us is on, first to find the light ourselves, perfect ourselves as much as possible, and along that path, share that light by serving our spiritual siblings until they too have the promise (the new and everlasting covenant) living within them as well.
...
May it be when darkness falls (the light is vailed)
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home (we are all away from our true home on this journey)
...
May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Darkness has come
Believe and you will find your way
Darkness has fallen
A promise lives within you now
It becometh every man who has been warned to warn his neighbor.
Once we have been given the light of the Gospel in our lives, what better way to honor the Light of the World than to light as many other candles as possible. Light is not the absense of darkness; darkness is the absense of light. We can best fight the Prince of Darkness by spreading light. The gospel's message is what people need to believe in to find their way through the darkness.

You made me think . . .We cannot let the fascination with what might be lurking in the darkness allow us to blow out our light and walk into the darkness. I feel so much of our culture is teaching us to "laugh in the face of danger" instead of turning away to the light. There is ONE source of light. Anything that contains the darkness is not of the light. In order to keep our own light burning bright (and thus be able to share it with others) we MUST avoid the darkness at all costs.
I have always loved that song too. My love of those books and the music that accompanies the movies was born from your love for them and your ability to find the light and share it with me! I love you dad!
