Position 2 of DARKEN THE DOORWAY: THE WOUND.
The song: "Darken the Doorway" — Franni Cash.
This is the song the whole theme is named after, and it's the one that finally answers the question Position 1 asked. Why is it so quiet? Franni Cash doesn't spiritualize the answer. She says it plainly: sometimes bad things happen in the name of God. Some things break inside a church. Sometimes they take when you gave it all you got.
That's not an accusation aimed at faith itself. It's an honest naming of what actually happened to a lot of people who now feel scared to darken the doorway again.
And then the line that makes the rest of this arc possible: God can find you anywhere. In the flowers and the rain. Not confined to the building, the program, or the people who got it wrong.
Naming the wound honestly — without excusing it, and without letting it have the final word — is what makes THE TURN possible next.
