The other day we found ourselves without electrical power.
Suddenly, we couldn't work / read / use computer / TV etc.
We were left in darkness; able and willing to work, yet could not.
It made me realise how weak one can be.
Perhaps we measure our progress in life according to how much we can achieve.
Yet, when we are no longer in control / when the lights go out, there is a wonderful opportunity presented to us to relax and just be.
In the spiritual life we meet occasions of darkness; the light has gone out!
It may be our own fault according to the choices we make, or not.
It seems to me that this state of darkness is a positive one where we learn to relax and just be in the
Presence of God.
Our self-importance is put aside and we find an inner Light that comforts and guides us.
