“Don’t Light a Candle and Don’t Curse the Darkness” by Rev. Dr. Michael A. Schuler

One can understand the antipathy sufferers from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) feel toward darkness, their sense of dread as winter approaches. But in general, darkness gets a bad rap in our culture. People retreat to the sunbelt and, except for a few pagan devotees of the moon Goddess, declare themselves to be sun worshippers. This service (hopefully) will prompt us to revisit our prejudices toward darkness.
