An old song I liked years ago sang about, “bring on the night” and this tune still comes to my mind now and again. I don’t remember the words much but the chorus is like a call to arms. I recently heard a conversation where the guy had the ability to echo my own thoughts aloud…..”what are we doing in the night?”
I have an early hours job, so it’s easy for me to settle in to my nesting hours without a second thought to coming out of my home much after the dinner hour. This conversation however challenged me to remember my night owl days and why I used to wander in the night myself. If I had to bring it into focus with just one sentence, it was always about hope of some kind.
Many look for hope in the darkest of places without understanding hope is not in the dark, but it’s in the light. I come back to the conversation where a question posed was, “what are we doing in the night?” Perhaps it’s time to bring some candles into the darkness of night and light up the streets with hope?
