We need light, however small it may be/ Necesitamos luz, por muy pequeña que sea
y comencé a escribirte un comentario, pero cuando terminé, ví que era como demasiado largo y por ello preferí compartirlo por acá a través de esta maravillosa comunidad Holos & Lotus, que - hablando de luz - hace llegar importantes y necesarios rayitos de luz a muchos hivers en situaciones difíciles.
Cuando en tu post hablas de arte, de inmediato me haces conectar con la comunidad cubana desde la admiración ya que la misma está enriqueciendo el contenido de nuestra blockchain de manera significativa.
No voy a mencionar nombres para no dejar otros fuera y porque no he visto tampoco todas sus producciones, pero me he encontrado con poetas extraordinarios, músicos fuera de serie, artistas plásticos de propuestas innovadoras, una enfermera muy certera en sus tips de como coadyuvar los tratamientos médicos aplicados, autores de narrativa que nos dejan en el sitio... Y saber que se han formado como excelentes artistas y seres humanos en un mundo de privaciones aumenta su valor.
El título de tu post -
Necesitamos luz, por muy pequeña que sea
- me llamó la atención, porque días atrás, comentando ciertas situaciones de mi propio país - Venezuela - con una amiga, recordé que hace un mes aproximadamente, una noche, de regreso a casa del trabajo, se fue la luz de improviso.
En ese momento me encontraba a escasas dos cuadras de llegar a la casa donde resido - no tengo casa propia y cuido la casa de una señora que se fue a Colombia con su familia y allá paga arriendo o alquiler donde vive - pero, no había luna y, ciertamente que las tinieblas eran densas. Pude notar la presencia luminosa de varias luciérnagas, cocuys o cocuyos, deambulando por acá y por allá.
Me sorprendí porque nunca los había visto por el sector donde vivo y no sabía que había.
Entonces me di cuenta que ¿Cómo podía haberlas visto antes si cuando circulo de noche por allí está la calle iluminada? Solo la falta de luz ne permitió verlas.
Y eso fue lo que le dije a mi amiga: aún en las tinieblas más densas habrá siempre una luciérnaga, un poquito de luz ...por muy pequeña que sea. Enfocarnos allí, nos dará fuerzas para dar un paso más, nos dará esperanza para esperar el futuro con la frente en alto.
A veces, por acá, nos concentramos con mucha ansiedad en cosas como las dificultades para adquirir lo básico para mantener la vida y la salud como son alimentos y medicamentos. Pero también es importante mantener la salud mental y no caer -a pesar de todo lo que ocurre - en el abismo de la depresión que tiene las fauces siempre abiertas y se ha tragado a tanta gente.
Ver la oscuridad nos deprime...enfocarnos en puntitos de luz nos permite seguir practicando esa resiliencia que nos ayude a mantener la salud no solo física sino también mental, anímica, emocional.
Ese poquito de luz puede ser algo tan simple como la sonrisa de un niño, la mano de un amigo en nuestro hombro,

el ver a alguien
lograr una meta - como cuando logres adquirir tu triciclo, y sé que lo lograrás, probablemente en menos tiempo del que imaginas -.
Bueno... Es difícil estar rodeado de tinieblas y sonreír, pero, todos los días habrá una - o unas - luciérnaga(s) dónde enfocarnos para continuar adelante.
Dios te bendiga y te ayude para que logres todas tus metas.

, I read your post:
We need light, however small it may be/ We need light, however small it may be
and I started writing a comment, but when I finished, I realized it was getting too long, so I decided to share it here through this wonderful Holos & Lotus community, which—speaking of light—brings important and necessary rays of light to many Hive members in difficult situations.
When you mention art in your post, it immediately makes me connect with the Cuban community, and I admire them for how they are significantly enriching the content of our blockchain.
I won't mention names so as not to leave others out, and because I haven't seen all their work, but I have come across extraordinary poets, exceptional musicians, visual artists with innovative proposals, a nurse who is very insightful in her tips on how to complement medical treatments, and narrative authors who leave us speechless... And knowing that they have developed into excellent artists and human beings in a world of hardship makes them all the more valuable.
The title of your post –
We need light, however small it may be
– caught my attention because a few days ago, while discussing certain situations in my own country – Venezuela – with a friend, I remembered that about a month ago, one night, on my way home from work, the power went out unexpectedly.
At that moment, I was just two blocks from the house where I live—I don't own a house and I look after the house of a woman who went to Colombia with her family and pays rent there—but there was no moon, and the darkness was certainly thick. I could see the luminous presence of several fireflies, cocuys or cocuyos, wandering here and there.
I was surprised because I had never seen them in the area where I live and I didn't know they were there.
Then I realized, how could I have seen them before if the street is lit up when I walk around at night? Only the lack of light allowed me to see them

And that's what I told my friend: even in the deepest darkness, there will always be a firefly, a little bit of light... however small. Focusing on that will give us the strength to take another step, it will give us hope to face the future with our heads held high.
Sometimes, around here, we anxiously focus on things like the difficulties in acquiring the basics for life and health, such as food and medicine. But it's also important to maintain our mental health and not fall—despite everything that's happening—into the abyss of depression, which always has its jaws wide open and has swallowed so many people.
Seeing the darkness depresses us... focusing on points of light allows us to continue practicing that resilience that helps us maintain not only our physical health but also our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
That little bit of light can be something as simple as a child's smile, a friend's hand on our shoulder,

seeing someone achieve a goal - like when you manage to get your tricycle, and I know you will, probably in less time than you imagine -
Well... It's hard to be surrounded by darkness and still smile, but every day there will be one—or a few—fireflies to focus on to keep going.
God bless you and help you achieve all your goals.
