Words for Dark Time<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

One of our dogs, as he grew older became afraid of lightning and thunder.\u00a0 Being in the living room with us in full light brought him no comfort.\u00a0 What he wanted was complete, silent darkness.\u00a0 It was the darkness that brought him comfort.<\/p>\n

Western culture is filled with light.\u00a0 We have street lights so we can feel safer walking at night.\u00a0 Buildings advertise themselves with lights of all shapes and colors.\u00a0 We have night lights in bedrooms and bathrooms.\u00a0 We can have light 24\/7.<\/p>\n

But do we want so much light?<\/p>\n

This little, FREE<\/strong> e-book, Words for Dark Time<\/strong> is a guide to take a look at ourselves and our deductions, judgments and criticisms about the dark.\u00a0 It encourages us to study not the light but the dark, to look at the fear and discomfort dark can and does bring and not turn away.<\/p>\n

Just as my dog did, we need to learn the language of complete, silent darkness. Old Earth<\/p>\n
