This document discusses the use of metaphor, particularly the metaphor of "Light", in Quaker faith and language. It provides several examples of metaphors used by early Friends, such as "Light/Hold in the Light", "Lamb's War", and "Ocean of Light/Darkness". It notes that while some meanings have shifted over time, "Light" remains a resonant metaphor in the 21st century. The document encourages finding new metaphors, including from other languages and cultures, to capture personal experience and add to the worldwide Quaker vocabulary.
