Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy TannerThies continued our month of reflections on Emergence with thoughts about dusk and dawn. Each is a moment of pause and transition, and together they remind us that we can emerge into light and we can emerge into darkness. Like the caterpillar's transition to the chrysalis, like the hero's journey in the underworld (made famous by Joseph Campbell), Rev. Nancy encouraged us to see emergence into darkness as an opportunity, to trust ourselves and the universe with the challenge and learn what it can teach us. Reemerging into the light can bring its own challenges; sharing our gifts requires its own kind of vulnerability. But if we can accept the darkness and the light, accept our fears without being ruled by them, we can gain the freedom to live our lives fully.
