Power out Power On
The lights went out here at my home several times today. I have set the clocks a couple of times already. I am sure there are some blinking 12,12,12 somewhere in the house.
When I was in India several times, whether we were at the orphanage or at the house of a wealthy architect, the power went out. When the demand for power is so great with so many people then that will happen. New Delhi has over 13 million people - that's a lot of demand on electricity.
In the rural areas of India the demand is not that great with the houses being lighted by simple lights. Unlike the Big cities that have the lights like downtown anywhere ... Check out this map of the lights coming from the big cities on the earth.

You will probably have to cut and paste it. You also may have to scroll around to see the whole picture.
But consider not only where there are so many lights, (geography review) but also where there are NO lights at all to be seen from space. What a world! What a world!
What brings true light into your life? What lights up your eyes like a young child filled with delight? What is that spark, the memory, the hope, the joke, that makes you light up and shine in the world? Perhaps you will find something new today while you think about all those lights... and all the beautiful world unspoiled.
God abide
