Bridget Forrester: I went out, and I bought this book I, I-- just because of the title. I think it might be over here. Completely did not understand it, but, uh, yeah. It was written by this Spanish priest like thousands and thousands of years ago. He was imprisoned and tortured, and it's called "Dark Night of the Soul." I remember, in one chapter, he talks about light and how, you know, um, when, like, sunlight enters a room, you don't really see the light. What you see are the things in its path-- objects and--and particles and--and dust, and you see them because they reflect light. And he talks about this imaginary room that there's two windows opposite each other, and a really strong beam of sunlight comes through the window-- one-- in one side and out the other, and inside the room is just sheer darkness because there's nothing in its path for us to see. And--and there's this one section I re-- yeah, he says, "we're never closer to God than when we become that empty room full of a light we can't see, and the first thing to enter its path, that first hope, will be ablaze with it, and that's how we'll know that we were in light all along."
