Light and Dark



It’s raining and raining and the sky is dark. I try to keep my eyes open but sleep is far more enticing. It doesn’t feel like the day has begun. I keep waiting for more light.

A few light-filled moments this week:

Lunch with a dear friend at Indigo.
A chance meeting at Röggenart that produced some great conversation.
A neighborhood Halloween party that was welcoming and fun for kids and adults.
Cupcakes and champagne and a bit of splurge shopping at a friend’s house.
Folks who were quick to offer kind words when I was at a low ebb.

It hasn’t exactly been a light-filled week here in Columbia/HoCo. I won’t spell it out but you probably know what I mean. And today marks the one year anniversary of the massacre at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. That’s a lot of darkness for one day to bear.

Light a candle today. Either a real one or by shedding some light for someone else. I wouldn’t have gotten through the week without people who did that for me.
