The comfort that light enters the world and the sun rises just as we open our eyes –this can soothe much human suffering.

Enveloped by this strong, illuminating presence, we wake and fall asleep. This light shines on all our activities and accompanies each of our movements. We awaken from the darkness of sleep into this light and the light stays awake with us, strengthens our awareness, and illumines our busy hands and enlightens our consciousness. For these reason, the first feeling that we experience on waking should be a feeling of gratitude. We are grateful to wake again, to take part again in a day of creation.

Let there be light says.

We are grateful to feel newly created in this light.
