“You must enshrine in your hearts the spiritual urge towards light and love, Wisdom and Bliss!” Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Yesterday was Diwali Day – The Festival of Lights, and to all who celebrate it in India and around the world: May the light symbolized by Diwali illuminate the hearts and minds of all with the grace and light of the Lord. Shubh Diwali! As I thought about that wonderful celebration, it brought to mind the beauty and blessings we receive daily from all forms of light around us. When we talk about light, it is usually in positive terms; as a reference to that which up lifts and inspires us… Walking in the light, being in the light, lighting a flame and on…

Light by Rabindranath Tagore
Light, my light, the world-filling light,
the eye-kissing light,
heart-sweetening light!

Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the center of my life;
the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love;
the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth. Contd below

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.” Og Mandino

The world we inhabit is filled with light; if only we would stop and look at it, engage it and embrace it. When we wake up in the morning, we are greeted by the bright rays of the sun. At night, the stars come out to bid us goodnight. We know the value of the light after we’ve been n the dark, and most of us crave the warmth and safety of the light.  I have added some magnificent pictures taken by NASA of different aspects of our solar system… all in the light. Contemplate them. Reflect on the light within… Enjoy the poems above/below and share your vision of the light.

The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light.
Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light.

The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling,
and it scatters gems in profusion.

Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling,
and gladness without measure.
The heaven’s river has drowned its banks
and the flood of joy is abroad.

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Edith Wharton

We make choices about how we wish to reflect our light. Some shine brightly, touching and healing everything in their path. Some glare with intensity, inhaling the oxygen in the air from everyone else. Some glow gently, spreading goodwill and blessings. However we choose, our light has an impact on others. When the light appears, we experience it in our own special way and we get from it as much as we put into it… Don’t forget Daylight Savings Time will be on November 6th when we fall back an hour, reset our clocks, gain an extra hour to sleep, and darkness comes earlier.

When The Light Appears by Allen Ginsberg
Lento
You’ll bare your bones you’ll grow you’ll pray you’ll only know
When the light appears, boy, when the light appears
You’ll sing & you’ll love you’ll praise blue heavens above
When the light appears, boy, when the light appears
You’ll whimper & you’ll cry you’ll get yourself sick and sigh
You’ll sleep & you’ll dream you’ll only know what you mean
