At the Gate of the Year

1 January 2005, 8 am | Poem

I said to the man who stood at the Gate of the Year, “Give me a light that I might go safely out into the darkness.”

And he replied, “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be more to you than a light, and safer than a known way.”

— M. Louise Haskins, from poem “God Knows”
