You are the LIGHT of the world!

“Let there be light”
Was the first ever
Utterance of God
In the Bible.

At the origin of the universe,
All the light was compressed
In a volume smaller than
The point of a needle!

Matter is frozen light!
Matter is nothing but
Gravitationally trapped light!
Light and matter are
Ultimately interchangeable!

Almost all particles
In the universe are
Those of light!

For every particle of matter,
There are one billion
Particles of light.

Light is a vital ingredient
In all atoms and molecules
And in all life forms!

Human body stores enough light
As to illuminate a baseball field
For three hours…

It seems that
The very food we eat is light!
We eat and drink the sun
Which is seized
In fruits and vegetables
Coffee and orange juice.
The air we breathe
Is essentially
An altered form of sunbeams.

Light, the basis of all matter
Finds its special home in us
Through the eyes.

Does any one need
Any more proof that
We are the light of the world?
