The Language of Light

Excerpted from The Great Remembering: We Are the Result of Thousands of Love Stories in a Little Bit of Heaven by Tom Blue Wolf., an environmental and peace activist and founder of the nonprofit, EarthKeepers & Co.
We must agree to raise the level of
our personal poetry –
so that everything we say is a reflection of what we hold dear in our hearts about what it means
to be human,
walking together on the earth
at this most precious of times.
Light is the first language of creation. Before there were words, before there was song, before even the stirring of wind - there was light. It poured itself across the void, speaking in the dialect of brilliance and shadow, wave and particle, seen and unseen.
Scientists tell us that the human eye perceives less than one percent of the electromagnetic spectrum. Less than one percent - and yet from that sliver we have built our entire world of meaning. We call it sunrise and sunset, color and shadow, vision and blindness. But, the truth is, most of the song of light is invisible to us, singing in frequencies we cannot see.
This, too, is The Great Remembering: to acknowledge that there is more than what we perceive. That the unseen is as real as the seen. That we are immersed in oceans of vibration, entangled in threads of energy stretching across time and space.
Nikola Tesla once said: "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy. frequency, and vibration.” The elders have always known this. They sang to the seeds before planting. They drummed the heartbeat of the Earth in rhythm with the stars. They listened not only with their ears, but with their bones, their dreams, their breath.
Every word we speak is vibration.
Every prayer we whisper ripples out,
touching leaves, clouds, and the skin of those we love.
Every unkind word has weight; every kind word has wings.
To honor the language of light is to honor
the power of frequency – to remember that our lives
are instruments in the great symphony of being.
The butterfly effect is not poetry, it is law. A wing beats in the Amazon, and a storm stirs in the Pacific. A child's laughter rises, and somewhere an ancestor smiles. Light entangles us across distance; vibration ties us across generations.
When we forget this, we speak carelessly. We fill the air with noise. But when we remember, we choose words as if they were beams of light - carrying healing, carrying clarity, carrying love.
To live in the language of light
is to remember that creation is always speaking,
not only in words but in waves, colors, pulses, and silence.
It is to understand that when we align
with this language, we amplify harmony.
When we resist it, we create distortion.
The task of The Great Remembering is not only to listen but to speak in resonance. To let our prayers, our songs, our actions hum at the frequency of love.
For light has no timeline. It travels, unbroken, across eternity.
And so do we, when we remember.
