In the middle of the night, toes burning, I find – awake, on the sofa – that life can be bathed in holy light, in darkness.
The monks chant on my phone.
I know what I am grateful for…

What more, really, can one ask?

May gratitude find you where you are in days – and nights – to come.
And also:
Ask and it shall be given unto you…
Seek and ye shall find…
Knock and the door shall be opened unto you…
Allelu, Alleluia.
