walk in the dark

.

If a man

wishes to be sure

of the road he travels on,

he must close his eyes 

and walk in the dark.

.

~ Saint John of the Cross

.

seeing for oneself, the value and the limitations of the knowing, and understanding of the mind 

can allow the faith to step boldly into the unknowing of silence, of darkness,
 and find ourselves within the unspeakable.
