Brightening the Darkness … (08/07/12)
If we go into a darkened room, we cannot see where we are walking. And it doesn’t matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week or ten thousand years – we are just as blind.
And yet, if we light but one candle, we are no longer los
That one tiny flame is enough to make the darkness flee.
That is the way of things with light and darkness … And this is the way of things for each of us as well.
It doesn’t matter how long we may have been stuck in fear. It doesn’t matter how long we have clung to a belief in our supposed limitations.
Once we engage our capacity for Love … once we have the courage to reach out into the gloom to comfort another … once we remember that this is why we are here, our Soul’s Light shines forth once again.
It beams out brilliantly and warms the shadows around us …
It illuminates our Way once more.
