Scared of the dark or is darkness your friend trying to teach you something?

Rev. Michael Schuler gave a great sermon on February 3, 2008 at the First Unitarian Society of Madison entitled, "Scared of the Dark". Here is a description of the sermon from the First Unitarian Society web site:

One of Simon & Garfunkel’s better known songs begins with the line “Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again…” The fact is, though, darkness is not considered the least bit “friendly” by most of us. The vast majority of our cultural metaphors for goodness, holiness and safety refer to light. Moreover, our preference for a well-lit environment has made it difficult, in many parts of the country, to recognize familiar constellations in the night sky. Darkness as a physical and figurative fact is our focus at our services this weekend.
