In this letter, Kirsten explores the different work asked of us in the summer light and autumn darkness. She explores the beauty and importance of good company when the lights go dim and as we take up the task of discerning the good, the true and the beautiful within the complicated and the prickly. Finally, she talks about prayer and why it is our sustenance as we stumble together and try to stand and search in the dim light. While she talks of all this, you will hear the waves of the lake and wonder why. It is because this is the place where she and Stefan say their Evening prayers and remember you.
