In western culture, ‘we let in light and we banish shade’ (from the song Do They Know It’s Christmas?) Often, we associate light with good and dark with bad in our language, our metaphors, our cultures, stories, and music. Well, white supremacy culture tells us everything is ‘either this or that.’ Our theme interrupts that with a both/and-we need both light and dark to survive. There are many gifts in the dark. We’ll explore some of them together this month. Spend some time in the dark this month and see what you learn, open to the gifts, and let us know what you experience.
