Let’s be luminous

By Suzanne Riedel

"Man shines by borrowed light. He reflects God as  his Mind, and this reflection is substance, — the substance of good."

–Mary Baker Eddy, Retrospection and Introspection, p. 57

In the very early morning hours of December 21, 2010, viewers in unclouded areas of the Western Hemisphere were able to watch a full eclipse of the moon. It was an awesome sight from my back deck. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. The moon seemed closer and bigger than I’d ever seen it. And when Earth’s shadow darkened the moon, you could see what appeared to be billions of stars, in the area just around the moon’s outline. It looked like a Hubble Telescope deep-space photo, where the stars appear to go on forever.
