let there be light

Say to every moment as it envelops us: “let there be light.”

And there is light.

​Suddenly, a light and a dark side to things.  A chiaroscuro to thinking itself transmutes our lived experience as it emerges  from the unknown and lands at our feet—a dimensionality not seen before.
To those of us simply flailing around in a gray fog; for so long not really caring that we knocked something over, just angry that it hurt;  this is a vision so startling, that we simply can't imagine how it is we have never been able to see it before.  Heretofore, hovering before each experience, we couldn't tell a mountain from a mole hill; much less a miracle.  We couldn't tell blue sky from earth, plants from animals, sun from moon, friend from foe, Jesus from the devil.  Standing at the brink of endless upon endless unknowns; we realize in a flash of  bleary-eyed awakening:  "My failure to understand what God does as His first act, at the 'Genesis of Moment,' coincides precisely with my failure to understand what I, myself, do not do at the genesis of each moment."
When God speaks, “Let there be light...” it is not so much His words illuminate the void like a radiant spotlight (which His words, indeed, and in part, do); it is more amazingly so just what it says it is—He speaks.  It is something like a conscious thought or a humble command put forth to the void; as if God asks or calls upon the void to illuminate itself—and it does! Triggering a divine process as inexorable as the dawn.  And then a light  comes on somewhere as if somebody flipped a switch.  And God's says: “Ahh, now that’s better!”

Speak into the void, mouthpiece of God.  Reflect His voice, mirror of God.
