Suddenly Midnight

Life sometimes - perhaps more often than we'd care for - brings us to moments and circumstances in which the things we regularly rely upon are gone, and we're completely in the dark. Holding onto or reaching for our usual ways of navigating through might help some, but, because we're in a place we've not known before, mostly they fall short, leaving us lost, uncertain, and frustrated. Perhaps what's called for in such times is meeting the unknown with the unknown, releasing whatever we're holding onto so that we can more fully settle into where we are, and as a result more fully meet what has come to meet us. What becomes possible then? What opportunities open?
