And 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 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
