The mystics believed that we all have a creative spark in us, and we are commanded by God to release it, honor it, let it shine. Through this spark, we are called to tell our stories, and affirm our lives as meaningful, self-determined, and free of fear. I believe this, that this spark is the sacred part of us, and this is in a way this is my religion. I see that spark in these leaves and the light that comes through the forest and lights them up.
