Blackout night in our house...I light a few candles and sit down to read one of my favorite books. Elmo is looking at me and his eyes are demanding an explanation. He wants to know why we are sitting in a total darkness.
Elmo, darling, it's ok. We will be fine.
"I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars" - I hear my mother's voice reading to me from across the years
Elmo, baby,never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby.
