Being bioluminescent

You may have heard the phrase “be the light” used in the context of spirituality, but what does it really mean and why does it matter?

Being the light is not about suppressing our challenging emotions. It’s not about pretending that everything is fine or trying to convince yourself and others that all is well.

Rather, being the light speaks to noticing the beauty of life that is already all around you. And when you notice that radiance, you naturally reflect that glow out into the world around you.

When, in the heart of a concrete city, you observe and delight in the abundant miracles of nature that persist and flourish all around, you yourself unconsciously begin to shine that miraculous luminescence out to your loved ones, to your community, and to the universe.

Did you know that humans are bioluminescent? At this very moment you are emanating light.

What is it that you wish to radiate out into the world?
