brightness/darkness

bright:darkYour brightness is my darkness.
I know nothing of You and, by myself,
I cannot even imagine how to go about knowing You.
If I imagine You, I am mistaken.
If I understand You, I am deluded.
If I am conscious and certain I know You, I am crazy.
The darkness is enough. ~ Thomas Merton, prayer before midnight mass at Christmas, 1941
