"Darkness was and darkness was good. As with light. Light and Darkness dancing together, born together, born of each other, neither preceding, neither following, both fully being, in joyful rhythm."
(A SWIFTLY TILTING PLANET, 50)
I woke up this morning to check my email, and found a message from Facebook. I got to the home page of the website and saw that one of my friends had updated her status to say that Madeleine L'Engle had died. Needless to say, I was surprised. I read her books when I was little. She was probably one of the earliest science fiction writers I ever read, and I greatly respected her writing. So, sorrow for her death, but joy for all the great writing she did. She was a wonderful writer and the world was blessed to have her.
