Though it was completely dark I saw a bright light seep through. The light came in the peace that ensued after the blackout as we resorted to the basics in a new warmth. Suddenly, the taste we had predicted to eat became something in the breakfast aisles This cold food was now on the menu and it warmed my heart in ways I never expected. Life slowed down enough to actually enjoy the moment a bit longer. By not having my conveniences right at my fingers I enjoyed the ones I reached out for a bit more. Blackouts over the long run are not fun but for a night I say bring off this light.
FOOTNOTE- Hanukkah lights were brighter then ever.
