Meaning: Light

"In him was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it."  John 1:4,5
"You are the light of the world.  A city on a hill cannot be hidden."  Matthew 5:14

It is harder for me to trace the why of this theme in my writing than the other two (journey, story).  I'm not aware of a conscious affinity for it in my writing; it just shows up.  Obviously, as in the scriptures above, as well as in many others, it is a common and powerful visual in my faith which I have heard from childhood.  And, of course, it is a staple of fiction separating good from evil.  So perhaps it is just these steady influences that bring it into my writing.

And this concludes the meaning of my blog title; which is, I hope, a glimpse into what makes me who I am.
