Lighting the first candle of Hanukkah tonight feels different.
A day that should be about warmth and light is sitting next to a lot of heaviness after what happened in Sydney. It’s hard to celebrate when people are hurting but Hanukkah reminds me that light isn’t meant for easy days. It’s meant for the darkest ones.
So this candle is being lit with intention.
For the lives affected.
For the families carrying shock and grief.
For choosing humanity when hate tries to take over.
One flame. Still standing. Still burning.
🕯️💙
