Right now I'm sitting in the dark. What makes that especially odd is the fact that I'm at work. The entire building has no power. Well, minus the spot here or there with back up lighting. It's really strange. No light, no computer. And no one around me knows why.
Years ago I read an article about how electricity changed humans' beliefs and understanding about the supernatural. I think of it every so often. Truly the world is different with light. Our fears are very different.
The parallel to spiritual light and power isn't lost on me, of course. How life changing that is too. And like the generations who have never known life without electricity, similar outlooks for me and others with the restored gospel as a heritage. We can go visit a world without power. We might even experience a short time without it (my office is really dark right now, by the way), but we'll never truly understand how it affects the psyche, the belief, the entire way of being.
And I say, as I have said so many times, I LOVE light!
