GATE OF THE YEAR
And, I said to the man who stood at the gate: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.
And he replied. Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.
So, I went forth. And, finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night.
And God led me toward the hills and the breaking of day in the lone east.
