“A bed… is where you face your nearness to or farness from God. Whether you are in pain or not, whether you are an anxious person or not—even, I think, whether you are a religious person or not—a bed is where you come face-to-face with what really matters because it is too dark for most of your usual, shallowing distractions to work.”
–Barbara Brown Taylor, Learning to Walk in the Dark, p. 76
