Fumbling Quotes

“Like walking in the darkness--
When you walk there long enough,
You adjust to it. You forget how dark it is.
Then, a glimpse of day! How bright he is!
Illuminating everything,
My love, my life, my light.
But all too soon the curtain falls
Bringing back the darkened night.
Unaccustomed to it now.
Where once it was a peaceful place,
It seems as dark as dark can be.
Never quite as comfortable
On this strange familiar path
Fumbling in the dark and watching now
For new light to help me find my way.”
― Kate McGahan

“What is writing, after all, except fumbling in darkness endeavoring to light a candle?”
― Peggy Toney Horton
