Dear Spirit to Spirit friend,
“Blessed Are You Who Bear The Light"
by Jan Richardson
Blessed are you
who bear the light
in unbearable times,
who testify
to its endurance
amid the unendurable,
who bear witness
to its persistence
when everything seems
in shadow
and grief.
Blessed are you
in whom
the light lives,
in whom
the brightness blazes—
your heart
a chapel,
an altar where
in the deepest night
can be seen
the fire that
shines forth in you
in unaccountable faith,
in stubborn hope,
in love that illumines
every broken thing
it finds.
Bearing the Light, in unbearable times.
Isn't that one of our greatest missions in life.
Being the one who remembers the Light That Is Greater, embodies it,
and offers it to all who cross our path in life and to our world.
Each one in their own way.
In Gratitude & Love, Joanna
