I like this, Carrie. It just feels like it has a lot of truth in it. I imagine many of us being called toward the darkness and we think that we are alone, since the ones who are closer to the light don't notice us out here, but often it is those of us who are hanging on out at the edges near the darkness who can spot the ones who might be close to giving up and who offer a hand and keep someone from slipping away, inviting them to take a step closer to the light.
