What I found interesting about these recent sightings were: the alignment of the event with time, and the people who noticed and were moved to be present.

Our lives become illuminated by the luminaries when we seek paths of inspiration. In moments of openness and curiosity, we become aware of the continuity of events within time and to the people who are present... yesterday, today, and tomorrow: in essence, the phases of Who-We-Were; Who-We-Are; and Who-We-Are-Becoming.
- Illuminate: to brighten; to lighten; to make clear; to decorate in order to celebrate.
- Luminary: a celestial body; an object that gives light; a person who has attained eminence in her or his field, or is an inspiration to others.

| Luminaries: lighting up our world (Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico) |
To move from the darkness of dysfunction, confusion, and despair, it is imperative that we ask ourselves the following questions:
- When do I illuminate another person's life, by lightening their burdens or clearing away misunderstanding?
- How have I celebrated another person's achievements, even when it means I am outshone?
- Can I become one of the luminaries who inspires others to give light to the past and present, seeking a brighter future with improved understanding?
This week, may we bring light to moments of darkness and mistrust! May we become the uncommon luminaries of our lifetime!
