Where Do You Find Light?

In many lives these days there is great darkness, evil, torture, rape, violence, war, hatred. Around the world there are conflicts that bring unbearable circumstances to civilians, to women and children and the elderly, innocents caught in the midst of war and violence. We see it on the screens in our homes. And even though we ourselves are not experiencing it, it affects us.

We have our own places of darkness, past and present. Things we have experienced, may still be experiencing. We anguish over situations we cannot control. We get overwhelmed by the weight of it all - our darkness, the darkness of others, of the world. It can break our faith. It can bring us to the brink of giving up.

But we still want to make the world better. We want to make a difference in our own lives and in the lives of others. To do that we must search for light. We must overcome the darkness with light. If we see only the dark we will believe that is all there is. It is important that we find light in our lives and that we bring light into the lives of others.

What to do? Nothing. Stop struggling to find the light. Acknowledge where you are, who you are, what you are. and allow the stillness to open you to the light. Practice mindfulness. Find the light that is within you.
