Each belongs here or anywhere just as much as the welloff . . . just as much as you, Each has his or her place in the procession. All is a procession, The universe is a procession with measured and beautiful motion.
Leaves of Grass
Walt Whitman, American Renaissance Books
He heard a nightbird singing. Out there. Out in one of the trees that stood around the pond. It was a noontime song, and presently it was joined by a second. For their kind, Matthew mused, night was not a time of sad longing, loneliness, and fear. For them the night was but a further opportunity to sing. And such a sweetness in it, to hear these notes trilled as the land slept, as the stars hummed in the immense velvet black. Such a sweetness, to realize that even at this darkest hour there was yet joy to be known.
Speaks the Nightbird
Robert R. McCammon
Jesus as “the light of the world” invites us to explore the multiple resonances of “light” and “darkness” as images of the human condition, just as Jesus as “the bread of life” invites us to tease out the resonances of “hunger” and “being filled” as metaphors of yearning and satisfaction.
