Be Still And Go

Into the Darkest Hour by Madeleine L’Engle It was a time like this,war & tumult of war,a horror in the air.Hungry yawned the abyss –and yet there came the starand the child most wonderfully there.It was a time like thisof fear & lust for power,license & greed and blight –and yet the Prince of bliss came into the darkest hourin quiet & silent light.And in a time like thishow celebrate his birthwhen all things fall apart?Ah! Wonderful it is:with no room on the earth,the stable is our heart.//This episode was written and recorded by Diana Butler Bass.
