Light. In today’s world, I forget. Easily. Violence. Racism. Earth destruction. Rampant consumerism. Sickness. Governance via greed and hate. Addictions. News swallows me into darkness. But that’s because I forget. Forget to turn. Change the way I am facing. For everywhere, every moment light pours forth. Light comes from those: Loving courageously. Living kindness. Choosing generosity over indulgence. Nurturing the earth. Speaking out against lies, greed, bigotry. Praying gratitude. Healing. Strengthening others. Teaching.

Thank you…deeply…for all the ways you bring light. And with courage, may we continue to act with love so love’s light will burn even brighter.
