Quotography: Darkness

Photo snapped upon arrival
at church.  Torrential rain
accompanied by lightning
knocked out the power.
The traffic lights were out;
thankfully, people treated the intersections
like 4-way stop signs.

Upon entering church,
I found that we had no lights there either.

"It is better to light one candle
than to curse the darkness."
~Chinese proverb~


The Chinese proverb was used as
a motto by Father James Keller
founder of The Christophers.

I love the quote. I almost used it. We have been getting rain, as well. Love it!

How coincidental, the candles give a lovely glow, it must have been a special service. Cheers

Proverbs really are the expressions of popular wisdom :)

It was quite an intimate feeling with only candles providing the light. Father even mentioned it before Mass dismissal. I liked it very much, but in winter, there would be no light coming through the windows as there was on Saturday because the Mass I attend the most is the vigil Mass which begins at
5:30 p.m. And in the winter, it would be dusk at that time.

Our teacher guided us to stand in front of the joint of the two rounded panes of glass,  leading us to realize that we cast no reflection. sharing with two of my favorite memes Rebecca's   Haiku My Heart and James' Weekend Reflections
