I hope for a new vision. I just hope that it doesn't die like it seems to in so many others. It's getting light outside, and the birds are singing. Personally I am an eternal optimist, as are those birds outside your window. Even the breakdown of civilisation and the lurch into the abyss of the majority of our species can be seen in a good light if you are an optimist.
Darkness can only exist where there is an absence of light.
As long as we continue to do the 'beacon' thing, then darkness cannot engulf us.
