     What are your personal, family, or cultural traditions during this season?

     In a moment of darkness – in an experience we have in our mind, or in an exchange we're having – just as we can light a single match, just flick it, we can add some friction, put a little bit of effort in, and light appears.
     
     If you're in a dark room, just simply lighting one match before you even light the candle shifts the whole dynamic. You go from largely not being able to be aware of your surroundings, if you're a seeing person, to being able to see so much more.

     It’s that dark and oh-so-chilly time of year when so many cultures and communities look to rituals, holy times, and celebrations
     to light up the night.

     As Kohenet April Baskin reminds us, even the smallest amount of light - produced by even the smallest action - can transform an experience. (2/)
