Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, some time ago, Ivan Doig wrote: “These strange beings, ourselves, need the night but sometimes are entirely at odds with it.” We could ‘name’ a few of us who may also have times when we are at odds with the night, so to expand on that thought, did You, Lord, want our attention?
