The Lightkeeper

Wandering in the darkness, now, that is something that might not normally be considered a good thing in most situations. However, for this particular night along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, the conditions were perfect to see the Hatteras Lighthouse share its light, as it’s done for more than one hundred years, even after being moved further inland in recent times. With the location and the weather cooperating, the stage is set for experimenting with astrophotography.

As I wait for my camera timer to finish one of many long exposures I will attempt this night, it is easy to get caught up in nature's sound machine of steady waves breaking on the shore. The directed luminous beam from the lighthouse makes its rotation over and over again across the horizon, leading my eyes to the emergence of a vast spectacle across the dark sky. This dense twinkling of constellations and galaxies is not always visible to the naked eye with the light pollution I am accustomed to back home, where the city and streetlights hide their beauty. It has always struck me as odd to associate the word light with a word like pollution, yet with the circumstance of a washed-out sky, it becomes easy to forget there is so much more to see outside our atmosphere.

People have long used the stars to aid in navigation from one place to another, but what if these pinholes of light were the stepping stones of a path to something or someone much larger? If I take clues from the Bible, each star is hung in the sky (Job 9:9), counted, and named (Psalm 147:4) by a creator whose glory is set above the heavens. (Psalm 8:1) Yet it is very easy to miss this divine signature behind a cloak of storm clouds or from the glow of man-made light, where the contrast is lost, beauty is made bland, and perhaps the sense of danger is lessened.

How many warnings from the Lightkeeper can be rejected to further linger in the darkness or be ignored before running aground only to sink deeper into a foundation that was never meant to cradle? How small must one's faith be to land and be broken on his shore, to know that the shadows of sin and doubt that loom behind have been overcome? Nights like tonight bring me closer to the God of Light (1 John 1:5), who not only makes a way for each step but also walks each step with me.
