Day 53.

The sun set later today than it did yesterday. This will continue every day for some time (though not forever). This gives me hope.

Tonight we lit nine candles rather than curse the darkness, and to celebrate the victory of the light.

Tomorrow is a new year. I resolve to connect with others, and to give more light. The more of us, the brighter. The more of us, the more we can hope. We cannot do this alone.

I wish you a New Year filled with light and hope, even in dark times.
