The Book Of Tobit
I made a project of the Book Of Tobit. I had not read Buechner’s ‘On The Road With the Archangel’ since around 2000ish. I went back to the source in both of my copies of the Apocrypha, the Oxford Annotated and the American translations.

Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day's chalking. . . . #izmir #tunnel #frederickbuechner #turkey #turkiye🇹🇷 (at Karsiyaka Tunelleri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1hL23dn3MQ/?igshid=1up38r1ijl9v9
I think we are waiting. That is what is at the heart of it. Even when we don't know that we are waiting, I think we are waiting. Even when we can't find words for what we are waiting for, I think we are waiting. An ancient Advent prayer supplies us with the words. "Give us grace," it says, "that we may cast off the works of darkness and put upon us the armor of light." We who live much of the time in the darkness are waiting not just at Advent, but at all times for the advent of light, of that ultimate light that is redemptive and terrifying at the same time. It is redemptive because it puts an end to the darkness, and that is also why it is terrifying, because for so long, for all our lives, the darkness has been home, and because to leave home is always cause for terror.
