Sending the Light of Words & A Big Thank You
[image error]
Every evening during this winter season, I enjoy the Italian lights on my Christmas tree and the candle that burns in my family room. But even more I enjoy the light of words, the words on the page of the book I’m reading. Or the words of dialogue in a film or some other entertainment that my husband and I watch together. It’s involving and meaningful to enter another world, to experience how others react in situations of love, worry, happiness and sorrow. We learn more about our humanity through reading or experiencing the drama and comedy of how others live. Sometimes we cry, often we laugh. But always we learn.
And when joining with family and friends to celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah and then the New Year, I wish you all moments that light up winter darkness, that encourage you to share the light of understanding–or a wonderful family story that makes those you love laugh or cry.
