“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in the darkness the astonishing light of your own being."
- Hafiz
Although we can't yet clearly see this astonishing light, may we trust that it is there, especially when we are feeling lonely and in darkness.
Oh how I wish, at least once, we would see the radiant light and beauty that lives within us, glimpse it in others, and remember it always.
Until such a time, let's be aware of the moments we recognize goodness in someone. Let's notice when we admire a talent. Let's reflect to one another the strengths we see.
We have the power to help each another appreciate our gifts in
bright times and trust that they are there in dark times.
With love, faith, and reverence,
Charlene
THE NINTH GIFT IS REVERENCE.
May you appreciate the wonder that you are
and the miracle of all creation.
