The night sea journey takes you back to your primordial self, not the heroic self that burns out and falls to judgement, but to your original self, yourself as a sea of possibility, your greater and deeper being. Night sea journey is a cosmic passage taken as a metaphor for our own dark nights, when we are trapped in a mood or by external circumstances and can do little but sit and wait for liberation. The darkness is natural, one of the life processes.--Thomas Moore

A community of love and compassion!
A new friend and his wife are dealing with the loss of a loved one...her mother. While I know their faith will sustain them through this difficult time, I know all too well how much the love and care of a community can comfort in times of loss. Death and the feelings of loss suck! My thoughts are with them. I once asked a very wise person what she did at times like this and she said, "I simply hold them up to light!" So I simply do the same...holding them with love and care and seeing light, even in darkness.
