Thoughts by Erica Brown:
Light is expansive and inviting. It brings clarity, warmth, vision and truth. When we are troubled or confused, we say that we are in the dark. When we slip up morally, we find ourselves trapped in darkness. In darkness, we lose our way and feel smaller and less significant. But, as the Baal Shem Tov tells us, from every human being there rises a light.
His mystical observations on the power of light invite each of us to discover the light within and to grow it. We are a light when we harness our incredible capacity to shine. We are a light when we look into ourselves and discover our uniqueness. We are a light when we exert our goodness. And we bring more light into the world when we are ethical people and feel ourselves to be ambassadors of an ancient, majestic people.
