A Little Light Under the Sun

As you and I know, there are many kinds of darkness. Sometimes darkness comes quickly, descending on us like a great cloud, and threatening to swallow us up. Just as often though darkness sneaks up so slowly that we don’t even notice its arrival, not so much a thing of its own, but more a gradual fading of the light, a lantern’s wick slowly burning down and dimming with no new source of oil. Take heart! No matter how dark our room has become there is always a source of illumination available. It’s here, right now, even if it’s just one tiny flickering point of light, almost indistinguishable at the other end of the universe. However dim or distant it may appear, a way out is provided. This book is about that way out. It’s about finally deciding to investigate the pinpoint of light, about looking through that one shimmering portal into another world. It’s for those of us who have become curious about what waits outside, right around the corner, behind the curtain, just over the hill, eager to greet us should we take the time to look. Gather round, have a peek, all are invited to discern a little light under the sun.
