White Light
Life is checkered shade or sunshine, joy or sorrow with one often following upon the wheels of another. These emotions are personal, often affecting both men or women in varying degrees of intensity. The tragic and the absurd seem to be built into our time and into the human being. We are affected by them. They are personal to us. Hopefully however we are able to cope with the tragic because the possibility of hope helps one to accept. Hope beckons us on to the white light which is our salvation. We live with the absurdity of our times but we realize that life also contains a large element of joy. Personally accepting life's complexities, we often are strengthened and become more compassionate people. Circa 1982.
