All of your postings are magnificent, but this one resonated intensely! I wrote myself a note about a month ago:
I remember the lightening bugs on summers night. The magic of flickering lights in the dark. We are lightening bugs of magic for the future. Shine bright and connect with other beings of light to share the magic of innocence, love and joy.
My favorite: Our light is the piece of God we're carrying. And remembering that is what keeps it burning. Stunningly beautiful and so true. Thank you once again for your light.
Wiz, you’ve done this historic moment true justice. You’ve named the spiritual depths of this moment, which as you so poignantly observed, “the universe has engineered with surgical precision.” (Chills!) I hope this piece is studied and pondered far and wide. There’s so much here I love but I want to call out this one excerpt:
“That’s what this moment demands of us - not fear-disguised-as-rage, but the kind of fire that comes from clarity. The kind that isn’t lashing out because it’s terrified, but standing firm because it’s plugged in. Not the cheap thrill of “finally they get what’s coming,” but the deeper force of courage, discernment, and luminous defiance. A refusal to let darkness decide the kind of people we become.”
You named precisely where even the good-hearted tend to lose their Light: the cheap payoff of retribution.
We have to think about that payoff of feeling right., of feeling some notion of “winning” when someone else loses. What’s that giving us? And at what cost?
A million thank you’s for calling us to remember the Light we’re truly made of. 🙏🏼🤍
I *think* I am not dissolving into the dark and yet, the thought of buying a bottle of champagne and toasting the ultimate demise of the orange one is such a happy thought to me.
So I will try, try, try to do better. To be better.
I also am going to focus on choosing the lumination from a place of joy, and not fear.
I love that you write with depth. I make time for your writing. Today’s was especially powerful. I loved how you wove, wicked, and Lord of the flies as the container of this unbelievable time that we’re in. You’ve captured it so eloquently -reminding me to keep holding the light, keep holding the happiness and to discharge all the heaviness that I’m here to hold space for/to witness, but also to mulch into the Earth..allowing that darkness to be transformed into light. It’s really wonderful and an honor to be a part of this group filled with light.
"Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars." --Kamala Harris's concession speech. I heard those with Indian heritage say it was a reference to Diwali.
'We are the light of the world' is a Christian hymn (not to impose a worldview but the idea).
Many expressions of wisdom depicted light and dark, and that without one we cannot fully understand the other. However, when they are terribly imbalanced do we see what we now see.
Evocative of the Statue of Liberty and the compassion it is meant to portray. Beautiful.
Feeding the hungry, sheltering the unhoused, healing the sick...these are things we should be doing for everyone so everyone can stand in their own light. When I see people react to the cruelty of the domestic policies of recent times by helping others, it gives me hope.
This is magnificent. Every word reminded me of what’s true: no matter the chaos of the world, no matter my passing feelings about this or that happening, there is a solid center within that can never be destroyed. Call it a light, call it Love, Source, whatever, it is indestructible and every time I lose my focus, then return to it, I am lifted up again. That’s what happened as I was reading this divinely inspired opus. You reminded. I remembered. Thank you for that gift.
Thank you for this amazing composition...so much to unpack and yet so much that is familiar. Helps me to continue navigating finding my way along this spiritual path manifesting love ❤️ and light ✨️ with every step. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for finding you...thanks be to Spirit.
You always know exactly what we need for support, when we need it. Living between two worlds isn’t easy in this fraught time. My biggest problem is patience with the process. It is hard to witness all the suffering around us and just know that things are unfolding as they are supposed to, in the timing that is ordained.
There are many lessons we incorporate in life, and some of them tend to collide. The one where “God helps him who helps himself” is a stickler right now for me. In this current bigger than life experience we all are suffering through, it’s hard to simply just sit by and shine. I guess joining a protest or two might be a good recourse, but I really just want the show to speed up a bit.

Meredith, I agree that this post had an exceptional resonance.

The simplest things are always the toughest.

Thanks for holding that mirror up today.

I echo this 💯
The luminous tower. Keeper of the flame. Source energy.
I know what I am. Thank you for validating my knowing.
You are a leader in times of darkness. Thank you. 💜🔥

This is one of my favorites. So enlightening and hopeful, I wish that everyone could be the light❤️

Wow, just wow!
This is perfect. Thank you for keeping us focused on the light as it is so easy to get dragged into the darkness.
Great news: no more pharmaceutical commericals!
