Beauty in Contrast
No question.....
There is beauty in contrast
Coffee tastes so much better after a long fast..
Music oh so much sweeter after the 3 weeks..y’know?
A warm tub soaking your thawing feet after a long hike in the snow..
A warm tiny crying baby after hours of difficult pain
The warm rays of spring after the long frost..snow and rain
The glow of the light..immersing our tired weary eyes
In the midst of the darkest dark
It touches you..
envelopes you..
Washes away all the loneliness..
Lonely souls..wallowing in the dark
Crying at night..
Tears of futility..leaving their mark
Cries of frustration...frustrating plight
There is a light...
The brightest of all
It will touch you one day
It will touch you
Tonight
The contrast will take your breath away.
Its the light of redemption..the light of Chanukah..
Happy Chanukah
