See the light, Be the light

 “For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

These are the words from Amanda Gorman's poem. Amanda made history on 20th January 2021 by being youngest inaugural poet when she recited this at President Joe Biden's swearing-in ceremony.  Here is the full text of her poem "The Hill We Climb". "Here is to the women who have climbed my hills before" later she tweeted.

I did not watch the full ceremony, just few glimpses. I was wonderfully awestruck when I heard these two lines. 

Words matter. I am amazed by the work of this poet and clarity of her thoughts she wants to communicate. At such a young age, to understand issues and have a courage to articulate and inspire others. Bravo. 

We all need this. In the face of uncertainties, difficulties and struggles. Courage to see the light and be the light.
