Where light banishes darkness

Always room for more

Countless families around the world lit an extra candle last night to welcome in the Jewish Sabbath.

The wish? More light. More peace. More humanity. No matter who you are.

Why can’t the human race figure it out? We may never know, but throwing more light into the universe seems like a reasonable thing for reasonable people to do.

So does leading with small gestures of light. Of connecting with each other. Of talking. Of realizing there are way more reasonable people on this planet than the other kind.

That despite the overwhelming sense of powerlessness that we all feel as we read the headlines and scan our feeds, each one of us has the power to initiate small changes.

Darkness only happens in the absence of light. So we must choose to be the light.
