Let There Be Light
Where can we find light in the face of inconceivable darkness? How can we seek out lightness when the darkness feels so impermeable? We can turn to the Torah. Page 1 - Genesis. This ancient document, chronicling a people who manage to survive in the face of tremendous hardship, epic barriers, and countless assaults.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. And God said: ‘Let there be light.’ And there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
We cannot deny the existence of darkness or fully protect ourselves from its perils. We can channel the light that G-d brought to this planet on its first day. We must shine this light even in the darkest darks. We will continue to seek out light, and illuminate its radiance, throughout darkness.
