Hidden Light
“The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“We are here because we are born with the capacity to find the hidden light in all events and all people, to lift it up and make it visible once again and thereby to restore the innate wholeness of the world.” – Rachel Naomi Remen
Seek, search, uncover.
Explore, pursue, hunt.
Inquire, listen, open.
Hear the poetry.
See the light.
Resign to nothing less.
Pieces, all of them, to wholeness.
“Poetry is what you find
in the dirt in the corner,
overhear on the bus, God
in the details, the only way
to get from here to there.”
― Elizabeth Alexander
