Given

(Picture found here)

We travelers, walking to the sun, can't see

Ahead, but looking back the very light

that blinded us shows us the way we came,

Along which blessings now appear, risen

As if from sightlessness to sight, and we,

By blessing brightly lit, keep going toward

That blessed light that yet to us is dark.

~Wendell Berry (Sabbaths 1999: VI)
