There are many precious scenes in movies and books where people passing over, are depicted as going into the light. I believe it is true...
Amazing what light does for us, dwellers of mother earth (bless Eskom). I am reading a book by Ian McCallum called "Ecological Intelligence" (thanks for introducing me, Paul) and it is fascinating how, on a practical level, light (daylight, fire, heat) secured the survival of the human race.
And of course, in the realms of religion, the play between darkness and light have been a source of great fear as well as wondrous deliverance. It is no wonder, on some level, we all strive to achieve "enlightenment" in our lives.
I must confess, I do not understand all of it, but I basically know I love the sun on my face, a warm fire in winter, candles flickering with promise, the stars decorating the bush veld sky, a face lighting up with love...and all the Angels.

Though my soul may set in darkness,
It will rise in perfect light,
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night.
Today I am thankful for my beautiful mother for all her prayers; Venita, Martie & Nevada for their true friendship; Paul for his enlightened mentorship; Caroline for her healing hands and Johan for bringing love and laughter. I feel the light :)
