The quotation below is taken from the poem “God Knows” by Minnie Louise Haskins (1875-1959). It is a quotation which I wish to share with your readers on this first day of the new year.
“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 out into the darkness,
And put your hand in the hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light,
And safer than a known way.”
