One of the amazing things about life is how the darkness and the light are intermingled. This is an essential teaching of many faiths and at no other time of the year is it more acutely felt than in December. Right now many people in my circle are going through difficult times and there have been losses that break the heart.
And yet.
At the same time there are small joys and reasons to celebrate. One tiny candle illuminates the darkness and sheds a light that gives us hope. If we can add to that light incrementally, one small candle at a time, we can illuminate the world. If we can be that candle, we can lift one another into the light.
Wishing you light and love this Chanukah.

JeriAnn,
I wish you more luninosity than darkness and hold my candle next to yours to assist in that.
Happy Hanukkah to you and your family...
