Dear all,
I am a work in progress.
As the northern hemisphere enjoys the longest days of the year, whenever June 21 comes around, I get a little sad. Why? Because starting now, little by little, for the next six months, the days get shorter again.
Ron reminded me, “Zach – you have the opportunity, then, inspire others to bring their own light, their own goodness, and their own imprint to the world.”
That simple wisdom spoke to my soul.
There’s a prayer we recite each night in Judaism called the Ma’ariv Aravim. It teaches that God weaves light into darkness and then back into light. The prayer is a reminder to accept that both exist, that the current situation will not last forever, and that in both darkness and in light, we have opportunities to pursue a better world.
The shorter days ahead compel us to deepen each moment in time with meaning, love, and incredible light.
