Light and Darkness

9/16/2013

Autumn is hitting its stride.  The weather is starting to cool down and the Halloween costume shops are cropping up, although September is only halfway through.  Still gently, the arc of the year is bending toward the dark and cold that is another part of the whole.  Today Rev. Nancy brought us a great message about seeing and accepting both the light and the dark within ourselves as part of our own whole, as well.
