Still Very Dark

In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.
(Mark 1:35)

What is it about deserted places
That calls us to prayer?
Stripped
Alone
In the dark
The heart beats
the rhythm of my song.

Seen above (and in home-page mastheads): “Still, I Rise” by Kathy Bozzuti-Jones in the current ECVA exhibition, "Recognition & Return."
