"We live in the Shadowlands." --C. S. Lewis
A revelation--sudden as it is brief. Insistent as it grows in my mind--refusing to fall into the abiss of incomprehensibility. Just one sweet, painful moment of enlightenment among so many more of dull, dark ignorance. My mind falls back to the laborious, though painless existence of apathy. I cannot bear this nothing feeling for long. My heart longs to be fired by conviction, fired by joy, fired by love. Fired by God.

Well said. Our eyes grow so accustomed to the dimness of this veil of tears that when we are granted a glimpse of real light, it can come as quite a shock. A good shock. May our eyes then be slow to re-adjust to the shadows around us.
