Leads one to looking inward, to concentrate on the lights
that can be lit, the various decorations and ornaments involving lights; the
sharing of other’s lights
Those of you living in sunnier climes don’t perhaps enjoy
the lights to the same degree that those of us who look outside and see gray
and rain, yet more rain. However, I am sure that everyone in his or her own way
has the odd gray day. Think back to
those and focus on what made the gray go away: usually there is some sort of
light involved.
They remind us of the sun, of better weather so we indulge
ourselves with new ones every year and on those days, such as mine today, when
the outside is blanketed in many shades of gray, we even light them all to
celebrate the lights that lead the way, the lights that guide us in the
darkness, the lights that lift our spirits.
But there are other kinds of gray, the gray of the spirit : we must never
forget, that to others we can be the light; we can lift the darkness of loneliness,
we have the capacity to shed the light of human warmth and love.
On this Christmas Day look around, shed some light – you’d
be amazed at how strong the rays can be that return to you.
