“No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the Light unflinchingly.” – J.R.R. Tolkien –
“Light is always light no matter the vessel.
Do not put pressure on yourself to shine in a specific form. Light can be big, small, loud, or a whisper but it is always light.
Allow your light to take its own unique light, we have the power to bring healing energy and clarity to any situation.
Light allows us to see things for what they are so that we may proceed with understanding, compassion and grace.
We can navigate our journey with much more confidence when we see the world through the light we shine on it.
And be sure to keep your light bright and shining- you never know how many people you may be a lighthouse for.
You never know how many people find their way home, even in the wildest storms, because you are there.” By Cleo Wade, “Heart Talk”
Pope Francis spoke of when Jesus told his disciples “You are the salt of the earth”, “you are the light of the world”. We must be salt and light, but never self-serving: salt must add flavor and light must illuminate the other.
“Don't you know yet? It is your light that lights the world.” Rumi
For Reflection: As you read these thoughts on shining your light and on being a light for this crushingly beautiful and wounded world what feelings stir within you?
