Grey skies

The sky in mid to late Autumn is always grey. This can be a very oppressive thing. I have at least one friend who has to be treated for the depression resulting from the lack of light.

One of the good things about the eventual coming of Advent and Christmas is all the candlelight. I imagine the same is true of Channukah. When the darkness surrounds, even one candle lit in hope has the power to put it out.
