Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
I open the door just a crack so the dog can go out. Beyond I see only darkness. I don’t know what he sees. A door opened to the darkness is an ominous invitation, unless and until, you dare go through it. The ample darkness is spacious with room enough for everyone. It knows things about us which it will gladly share, speaking in our own voice. Like my brave little dog we all go into the darkness, traveling throughout the night until we emerge in the daylight.
