Today’s meditation comes from The Book Of Genesis in The Old Testament and from the writings of Mary Oliver, with music by Cloud Wave.

Passage: In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was everywhere; and the Spirit of God was brooding over the face of the waters. —Genesis 1:1-2

Perspective: Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift. ―Mary Oliver

Music: “Stratosphere” by Cloud Wave
