The darkness comes slowly. When light turns into twilight, all know that midnight is not far behind, the darkest of all hours. Yet, no one fears because soon the sun will rise on a new day.
That certainty is not present in world events because man has power to change history. Such is the present moment. All agree that the light is receding, that twilight has come but no one knows if there will be a permanent midnight, or if the coming midnight will surrender to the rising sun of a new day. All is uncertain.
