I stopped into a store on an errand this morning. The young man at the counter beamed at me.
I looked down at his name tag. It read: Luca.
I asked him the meaning of his name.
He said: Bringer of Light.
And he was a bringer of light.
His beautiful name and spirit warmed my heart.
Each one of us can make a vast difference in the trajectory of the earth, in our own lives and in the lives of others, by keeping the Light on in our hearts, affirming the best in others and ourselves, and sharing our light with the world.
