Darkness & Light: Week Two
I stuttered with this one. I started out humorously, since that’s my first line of defense. It was really cute and very shallow. Totally not what I wanted. So I started over.
I was thinking about risk as it relates to my faith, how when I am strong in faith, I feel less fearful of taking risks.
I have a favorite quote, which I printed on transparency:
“I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied, go out into the darkness and put thy hand into the hand of God. That shall be to thee safer than light and better than any known way.”
The bottom corner is a prayer one of my college professors said at the beginning of a semester. I have never before or since heard anyone pray for courage. The opening of the journal section says, “In faith, there is no risk. Only courage.”
The whole thing just kind of flowed from there.
I used my new alcohol inks, painted on a book page, and glued some magazine cutouts. The letter stickers across the top say Darkness, I don’t know if you can read them.
