We are all waiting in the dark.

Waiting for results,

Waiting for change,

Waiting for healing.

Waiting for

Something.

We often believe that we are waiting in the light.

We deceive ourselves into believing that we are not truly waiting at all.

Yet if we will simply be still in the dark,

if we will stop distracting ourselves with stark light,

if we will stop blinding ourselves with hollow sparkle,

there is a hope that whispers.

This hope whispers that all of your waiting is pregnant with promise.

This hope arrived once before.

This hope arrived silently, in the dark.

This hope will come once again.

This hope will come in a blaze of holy light, banishing the darkness forever.

And in this in-between time,

in this already-and-not-yet time,

keep waiting.

Keep waiting with confidence.

Keep waiting with action.

Keep waiting with watchfulness.

Keep waiting with joy.
