As much as we find car wrecks and train crashes disasters we’re drawn toward, light still draws our attention. If we find ourselves in the dark we seek out the light for help, relief or illumination. It isn’t an intellectual process; it happens automatically. Our attention, in darkness, gravitates toward light. It happens in literal darkness, but it also occurs in personal times of crisis and stress. We seek out help from those whose experience and compassion we trust. Their light encourages us to persevere toward our goals.
