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 to you better than light
and safer than a known way.”
So I went forth, and finding
the Hand of God, trod gladly
into the night.
