The opening act of creation is the arrival of light. In Hebrew, this word is or (אור, pronounced "or"), meaning not just physical brightness, but the first spark of spiritual awareness—a light that allows you to perceive possibilities and begin again.
Notice that even before the sun, moon, or stars, there is light—hinting that true illumination is not only physical but also inner. With each new day, you have the chance to bring 'or' into your own life: to shed new light on your choices, to see more clearly the path ahead, and to brighten the world in your unique way.
Reflection: Where do you notice small sparks of 'light'—hope, clarity, or kindness—in your daily routine? For today, acknowledge one such spark and consider how you might nurture it further.
