Welcome to The Light, your quiet hour for reflection.
Science keeps reminding us that sleep is not laziness but liturgy. Each night, the body does sacred work, restoring memory, emotion, and resilience. One writer frames it as a commandment of care for the self, a gift we resist even as it heals us from the inside out.
From rest to resurrection of another kind, a finished film called Coyote versus Acme spent three years in the dark, shelved by a studio chasing a tax write-off rather than an audience. Against considerable odds, it is finally reaching theaters this month, a small reminder that things made with care have a way of finding their way into the light eventually.
And then there is young Enrique, who prayed before a basketball drill and quietly thanked God when it went well. His father told him he was prouder of the prayer than the performance. Enrique simply shrugged and said, I just did what you do. Some things are taught without a single lesson.
That is this hour's reflection. Carry the light gently.
