“The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” Posted about ago
As I looked into the faces of so many women tonight, I couldn’t help but recall the faces of another group of women. Women who once frequented the brothels, looking to survive, to support their children, to escape their current reality, cursing the circumstances that had contributed to their entrapment, believing they were worth nothing, yet hoping against hope for a way out of this hell. They were much like the scarred and broken women I encountered tonight. Yet, if you met them today, you would never know. You would share a warm smile or a cup of tea while discussing the latest sewing techniques or the price of thread these days. These are the women of Sutisana.* These are women who have encountered the Light of the World in the darkest of places and for whom everything has changed. And these are the women whose transformed lives speak of a hope and a love so great that we cannot help but continue stepping into the darkness.
