I began to think about this while listening to the program as I was really struck by this statement. I wanted to remember this idea. Then the poetry muse came to visit and this popped into my head:
Light in the World
Let us abandon
the anger and
resentment
covering our fear.
Let us face this
fear and ask
where does it
come from,
what generates
this fear?
Let us face our
fear, welcome it,
take it in our
arms, soothe it.
Maybe then
we can no longer
be fearful and
become one of
those through which
light enters the world.

This feels true to me, although there may be other ways to become one through whom light enters the world. I would like to be able to fully be a light in the world. I also think that people are how fear enters the world. I want to continue to work to be less fearful, less worried, resentful, and less able to let things trigger anger in me from time to time. I mean the anger that makes us see red, makes us withdraw from others and leads to hate rather than the kind of anger that leads us to action based on compassion and connection to others.
If any of this makes sense. I think it does. I hope it does.
