As we reflect on the Hanukkah story, we remember those who had faith to light that one lamp to be witness to whatever might unfold, knowing they were not in control, but remaining hopeful nonetheless, for what else could they do?
Sometimes it might hurt to watch, since you can’t fix everything the way you might wish you could. But your job is to stay with it, to keep going in order to find out what the poem is about. To take a deep breath and patiently follow the line as it writes itself. To be both participant in and witness to its unfolding.\
