From Darkness Into Light
. Oncol Nurs Forum. 2016 Jan 1;43(1):7-8 Authors: Katz A Abstract I write this on a very dark morning at 6 am, here in my office in Canada, just above the 49th parallel. Winter is coming but this year, thanks to El Niño, we have no snow at the midpoint of November. My office is likely the only one lit in the whole building; I work in an ambulatory cancer center, and nothing or nobody stirs here until 7 am most days. There are 41 days until the winter solstice on December 21, and each day grows perceptibly shorter until I find myself in the dark on my way to and from work. I do not like these short days, but there is January and February to look forward to, when the dark starts to recede, ever so slowly. When this issue reaches your mailboxes, I hope you will notice the change in the length and quality of the light wherever you are.
