Daily Dose

B"H

Returning Light
---------------

In creating the whole of existence, G-d made forces that reveal Him and
forces that oppose Him --He made light and He made darkness. One who
does good brings in more light. One who fails, feeds the darkness.

But the one who fails and then returns transcends that entire scheme.
He reaches out directly to the Essential Creator. Beyond darkness and
light.

And so, his darkness becomes light.

Shalom!

I particularly like this posting today, Teach.

To me this is about hope, that beyond the darkness is an everlasting light. All we have to do is reach out for it.

Ann

Yea, Ann;
That particular part of the quote really hit me too...
Transcendent....directly to the Creator...becoming light itself...
I agree...that is hope...and it is within us all...
Thanks for sharing, Ann!
