    “I've been scraping little shavings off my ration of light
    And I've formed it into a ball, and each time I pack a bit more onto it

    And I blow across it and I send it to you
    Against those moments when
    The darkness blows under your door
    Isn't that what friends are for?”
    Bruce Cockburn
