While we light our trees and Christmas candles, our Jewish neighbors and friends light the first lamp of Chanukah which begins this year on December 24 and concludes on December 31.
Whether you celebrate Chanukah and light a menorah or not, I'm sure this beautiful reflection from my friend Alden Solovy will hold meaning for you...
Inside the Light
A rainbow shines
Inside the light.
If you could be the dew drop
You would always see it.
Stillness waits
Inside the light.
If you could be the sky
You would always feel it.
The sunrise dawns
Inside the light.
If you could be the horizon
You would always find it.
Freedom flows
Inside the light.
If you could be the wind
You would always ride it.
Beauty rises
Inside the light.
If you could be the sparrow
You would always reach it.
Mystery pulses
Inside the light.
If you could be the wonder
You would always know it.
Majesty reigns
Inside the light.
If you could be the wisdom
You would always hear it.
Faith rests
Inside the light.
If you could be the eagle
You would always hold it.
Your soul glows
Inside the light.
If you could be yourself
You would never leave it.
