A new year is a new reason for being the Light of the World! I think about the nature of light. When does light become apparent? When it removes the darkness! Is it your personal light that shines or is it THE Light, the One Power often called GOD? The Persian mystic Rumi wrote: “If ten lamps are present in one place, each differs in form from another; yet you cannot distinguish whose radiance is whose when you focus on the light.”The Light, then, is the origin of everything and everyone, the very stuff of life. The word “light” stands for Divine Life, Divine Love, Divine Wisdom, and all the Divine qualities that we can realize and express by virtue of our Divine Identity. Underlying every condition is the faithfulness of Divine Light -- a steady, sure rhythm of wholeness, the peace that does not require logical explanations, and the unifying power of love. Focusing on the light, we become the light--spiritual understanding dawns and we then express the Divine Qualities that alter our experience of every circumstance. Even better, we radiate that light for all the world to see -- and our world gets brighter. Such a good deal. Happy New Year!
