So, this year’s Diwali has ended. Here’s to hoping that beauty has won and that this was a much-needed victorious Diwali. We bloody well need a light in the ongoing darkness.

Sundarata Vidya Hai (Beauty Is True, Perfect Wisdom)
It’s Diwali! The holiday kind of snuck up on me this year. So, here’s my offering of “lights” to celebrate this festival and to remind myself and others that beauty is true, perfect wisdom.
May your life be as colorful, shimmering, and magical as the lights of Diwali. And may the light of beauty set afire the true, perfect wisdom in your heart and banish the darkness in your mind.
