The sun has set every evening since the world began and yet standing back from the ocean’s edge watching people gaze at it in awe, in holy reverence, and in wonder, I can only marvel.
I light a candle before my meditation ritual, I light candles to calm myself, I light candles to send prayers to loved ones, and I send messages of love and light to friends, or surround them in light if they’re in need of protection. Our souls know that the closed buds that live inside of us, grow when infused with light, just as flowers burst forth on earth. But somehow we forget this when out and about in the world. Our brains take us elsewhere and we allow thoughts of worry and upset to fill our voids. Why?
Primitive peoples from ancient times worshiped light. Mystics meditated on it. Light has been the nectar to which we are drawn and from which our openings are born, but we pretend that we don’t know this.
How beautiful it would be to glide into the future, creating a oneness, a convergence, a vibrational surge of compassion and goodness. Hmmmm, time to close the eyes, visualize light, and connect to it.
