A Jarful of Fireflies - Rabbi Avi Slansky

[Music] summer nights have a very unique Pleasant crisp feel to them especially Upstate walking it's dark and then you'll see a little light for a moment you'll almost question yourself if you saw anything and you'll keep on walking and then you'll see it again and then as you become a tuned tit you'll realize fireflies the smallest tiniest little light beautiful magnificent but fleeting they're there for a second or less back in the days of old people would take a glass jar and try to catch one of those firefights and you'd catch it and what would it give you it would give you a DOT of light for a DOT of a second and then nothing else but what would happen if you catch a second and a third 56 the hundred of these teeniest little lights together they'd each be flashing at different moments and then you'd have something that could light up a dark way we often are plagued and wonder doesn't really make a difference if I don't look at that site for a second who really cares I already succumbed so I should stop now is it really consequential that Split Second of looking away way and the answer is each of these tenous little actions as we're walking down the street and we become a drop stronger and we don't look there and then maybe we do but the next time we say okay I'm going to stop and we're about to click and we hold ourselves each of those moments is a grand act it's a beautiful light but you know when they add and they add and they add then they truly create this most magnificent light so yes to our ourselves they might look so small but in reality firstly in the eyes of God they're magnificent but we can even realize and touch their greatness when they add and they grow then they truly create something a beautiful light that will light up our own lives each and every day [Music]
