As Father Woodlots adds sparkle and light to our Solstice
Tree, he is hearing Wordsworth's poetry: "Come forth into the light of
things, let nature be your teacher." (The Tables Turned)
And
George Fox's vision of hope: "I saw ... that there was an ocean of
darkness and death; but an infinite ocean of light and love, which
flowed over the ocean of darkness." (Journal, 1694)
"Hannukah comes to teach us that if you go in a room, and the room is dark, you don't have to take a stick and start
fighting with the dark....A little light gets rid of a lot of
darkness." (Rabbi Sholom Ber Harlig, quoted in "Grieving for the Innocents", by Steve Lopez, LA Times, December 8, 2015) (Note: I am waiting for permission to reprint these words from Rabbi Harlig, and will take them down if he or Steve Lopez asks me to do so)
