I think it’s extraordinary that even the smallest light can illuminate the darkest space. Consider that for a moment: no matter how dark it is, if you have one ray, one beam of light, you can see. And once you can see, you can act. And once you can act you are steps away from being out of the confines of darkness and into the freedom of light.
What is your one beam of light?
Is it a friendship, a poem, a word?
Is it a quote, your marriage, a lifelong friend?
Is it a story of redemption, a moment of truth, an episode of daring?
Is it a work of art, a song, a chance encounter?
Is it your child, a value, a strength?
Is it your work? Is it your faith?
One beam of light transforms the darkness. Every time.
