Wise Words on Wednesday: The Gate of the Year

minnie

I said to the man who stood at the Gate of the Year,
‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’
And he replied, ‘Go out into the darkness, and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be better than light, and safer than a known way.’

– Minnie Haskins, “The Gate of the Year” (1908)
