Every December, a family in my neighborhood erects an eye-catching Christmas display. The scene is okay to look at during the afternoon but it’s not enchanting. There’s too much visual competition. Sunshine illuminates everything.
At night the spectacle comes alive. The figures stand out because they’re illuminated from within.
While comparing the two views, a metaphor comes to mind. Physical appearance matters, but what’s more important is revealing a light of humanity glowing within us.
