"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16
It could well be that I have heard and/or read this verse hundreds of times. You might easily say the same thing. There have been sermons, talks, teachings, songs, discussions, and thought-provoking articles featuring this verse.
I'm not going to add to the noise today with superfluous words of my own.
We don't always get the most out of words. Sometimes, we only get to the truth of the matter when we are exposed to art, to innovation, to a visual of some created ideation that burrows down into our hearts and soul. Sometimes we need the experience that will teach us more than just the words on a page.

After 49 seconds, without a word being spoken, we might be affected by a desire to be the Light in our own small world. But, knowing where to begin could be an issue.
I can offer only, "Start small and be open and aware of the struggles of those around you." Sometimes, we can look to children for guidance.
