"And then we are, one and all, so pitifully afraid of the light," writes Hayden Carruth, but he has it all backwards. It's the lights that light our lives and get things done. In the dark, the thinking can happen then, but it's then unlit. Who wants a play in the dark?

A candle helps, but only a little. Awaken, Carruth! Most of your work is lit and so are your thoughts, whether you know it or not! And so are your passing-ons. And so are our own.

Let's get it done before twilight comes. Or before we are called by our maker. Else how did St. Peter know we had more good things written? Let there be light!

By what imagination’s stretch are these “Italian” footprints??????????

“The Italian footprints reported in Nature are about eight inches long and four inches wide, and their makers were probably no taller than five feet.”
