"For those enlightened few the world is always lit. For the rest of us, such clarity comes only fitfully, in sudden glimpses or slow revelations. Quakers refer to those insights as "openings." When I first heard the term . . . I thought of how on an overcast day sunlight pours through a break in the clouds. After the clouds rift on, eclipsing the sun, the sun keeps shining behind the veil, the memory of its light shines on in the mind."
