Light the World

If I asked of everyone to light a candle for all those taken from me because of cancer all their homes would shine quite brightly.  The flicker would help remind us all that life is a delicate balance of feeding desires, fulling needs, and too much of either can cause it to snuff out.  The speed at which it descended the wick would depend on the quality of the life, the care put into creating it, but anything could arise and break the finest made candle.  That wouldn't make the warmth that it caused any less real, and it would not make the joy it brought any less meaningful.

But, instead of lighting a wick in your home, instead of digging out the matches, I ask of you to please ignite a flame within your heart.  Please try to bring warmth with your words and your thoughts.  Make the kindness flow through your veins and radiate from your actions.  Bring joy to your surroundings with every beat of your heart.  Honour those that could not make their heart beat any longer, but their light shone the brightest despite their conditions.  Bring love to your behaviours and make the world shine every day.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a couple blessings come their way this Christmas season.  I wish for all of you the joy of the season and that the happiness you feel lasts year round.  May your health improve, may your mind expand, may your heart be filled, and may your passions fulfilled.

The world needs kindness and love, I hope that you will be a beacon of this in the New Year.

Lots of love:
