Unless They Are On Fire

"If you find the need to blow out someone else's candle

do it for good reason.  Not because you want yours

to shine brighter."

Bonnie Zackson Koury

There is absolutely no reason to blow out someone else's candle, unless they are on fire.  We each have a flame to kindle and it more than likely is different one from each other.  The thrust is to band our individual flames together to shine so brightly, no longer will anyone be afraid of the dark.

Since childhood, the song about "This Little Light of Mine" has been my guide through numerous shadows.  I have grown up believing that a simple candle best reflects the tenderness and steadfastness of God's love.  My home has been lit by candles throughout the year day or night.

The Catholic Church glorified candles on a larger display than my Lutheran religion, but both carried me to connect the presence of the sacred with the presence of light reflection.  My faith in glowing light became compounded with trainings in light energy.   We are all "ONE" light moving in spite of the darkness around us.  Together, our flames will light the way.
