Darkest Days - Brightest Celebration

A L O H A !

We are rebels in our own country. 

They have taken full control. 

We fight them when we can.

Mostly we strike,

then melt into the country-side.

But - MIRACLE -

we are occupying our own Temple now,

the central pillar of the world.

The glowing  cloud of GRACE

used to hover and hum here,

as our priests communed

with the ONE-ly

GOD.

 But the light

has gone

dark !

 

The Lamp Eternal,

to remind us

forever of the

One 

without beginning or end,

the lamp that has burned

throughout my life,

my fathers'

and grandfathers' too.

The lamp, our Temple sun,

is dark.

Despair!

 What point to re-light

with just one day's oil here?

Then suffer the death of light

again tomorrow?

But sometimes light

must

re-light itself.

How could we,

perhaps the last Hebrews,

not be ourselves,

not kindle that divine fire?

Lighting it 

is who we are-

light calling

to light.

  And tomorrow?

Well it is always 

NOW 

in GOD's Presence.

Profile in the Sky - Cloudia's new profile photo?

The next day Heaven smiled upon us.

The lamp remained alight
in the now moment.

And then for seven days,
completeness !

We'll remember this forever
EVERY YEAR:

Hanukkah -
The Triumph of the 
L I G H T

And that lamp
has never gone out. 

Hanukkah is sort of Jewish Diwali - 

Festival of Lights!

Thanks for celebrating the freedom
to be yourself
here today

                                                Warmly, cloudia
