Light

Thank you to Cheryl Stillman for posting this today.  I needed to see it.

We all start out in this world the same.  We're born - helpless and completely dependent on others for our existence.  Yet, a baby brings so much joy for today and hope for the future.  And for just a brief moment - the world is perfect.  A baby is light for the world.

What happens as we grow up?  We are judged by our actions, how we dress, who we choose to keep company with...the playground bullies find us, our friends abandon us, circumstances harden us and we become closed.  Our light dims.  Oh, it's still there, but it takes much effort to see the light in people.

We're all in this crazy world together and we can tear each other down or build each other up.  I think building each other up makes for a better world...don't you?

Today my wish for you is to always look for the light in others.
