I’ve taken to reciting the following each day before beginning my morning meditation, as I light a candle on my altar. I’ve found it quite moving and profound, in spite of its simplicity:
May I be like this candle – a gentle and unwavering light in the world, radiating warmth and illuminating truth.
And So It Is.
I really like your statement – a powerful and life-affirming ritual. Is the saying yours or is it from somewhere? The reason i am asking if it is in the public domain i would like to use it in my blog candlesonthepath as it perfectly sums up the purpose of that blog – i’m thankful that i stumbled on these words. Great work.
