Dark Night

I fear I may be on the edge of my own Dark Night - or perhaps I have been on this edge for awhile now and the abyss is near. St John wrote of the Dark Night as a catalyst of greater awakening in faith - I pray that I too may have the wisdom and courage to arise from the night in greater faith. I question if there is wisdom in attempting to avoid the dark night of the soul if a surrender to grace and what may be is in greater order, or even if the signs (and vague feeling of unease)are just a passing cloud of grief and sadness. I honestly don't know. In times of doubt and sadness I write, meditate, pray and of course run - funny thing is that these are the things I do in good times as well, yet now with greater urgency. Clouds may be approaching and dusk is drawing near, night will always come and just as sure - there always comes a dawn.

Thanks for listening.
