Brightening <strong>the</strong> Darkness …<br />
(08/07/<strong>2012</strong>)<br />
If we go in<strong>to</strong> a darkened room, we cannot see where we are walking, and it<br />
doesn’t matter if <strong>the</strong> room has been dark for a day, for a week or for ten thousand<br />
years – we are just as blind.<br />
And yet, if we light but one candle, we are no longer lost … If we light but<br />
one candle, we can see again … That one tiny flame is enough <strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong><br />
darkness flee.<br />
And this is <strong>the</strong> way of things with light and darkness …<br />
And this is <strong>the</strong> way of things for each of us as well.<br />
It doesn’t matter how long we may have been stuck in fear. It doesn’t<br />
matter how long we have clung <strong>to</strong> a belief in our supposed limitations. Once we<br />
engage our capacity for Love; once we have <strong>the</strong> courage <strong>to</strong> reach out in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
gloom <strong>to</strong> comfort ano<strong>the</strong>r; once we remember that this is why we are here -- our<br />
Soul’s Light shines forth once again.<br />
It beams out brilliantly and warms <strong>the</strong> shadows around us …<br />
It illuminates our Way once more.<br />
(~ inspired by Sharon Salzberg)<br />
