Life Begins in the Dark

Somehow we have developed a love affair with light and mistaken it for life. Easter is about life -- full, undying, hope-filled life and it isn't always found in the light. Life begins in the dark where seeds and cells grow, where mysteries unfold. And it continues in the beauty and wonder of night skies, shadowy forests, and deep inside us. Night and day. Dark and light. Unseen and seen.
