Ever since I first heard about Diwali from my physical therapist in the Valley They Call Silicon, I’ve celebrated it. I am so grateful for all commemorations of the victory of light over dark. Almost every culture has some sort of festival of lights, of clearing away the debris of evil and turning toward a more perfect future. Humans need these reminders of what we might be if we turn our will to it.
Especially in this age of nihilistic destruction, we need to mark the defeat of darkness. We need to shine light into the abyss and be beacons of kindness, strength and true righteousness.
So here’s my contribution over the weekend.
