And I said to the one who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown." The reply: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That will be to you better than light, and safer than a known way."
We imagine the Divine as distant and inaccessible, whereas in fact we live steeped in its burning layers.
