Light and Darkness

While hitching a ride down the hill in a van last Friday, I finally understood the meaning of the word "darkness". The moment Wong and I entered the vehicle, we could not see our 5 fingers even if they were placed right in front of our eyes. For a moment, we had the feeling that we were being kidnapped...

On Tuesday, while I was about to leave camp in the evening, I happened to look up into the sky and saw a scene that awed me. The evening sun was blocked by clouds, but its rays could still be seen protuding from the edges. Mere words simply cannot describe the scene that I saw.

It is kind of coincidental that I first experienced darkness, then followed by light.
