Light a candle

Andrew, Jr. · 04-23-2011, 05:40 PM

My candles are burning bright, and Rosie got me more incense today. So that was burning today too. My thoughts and prayers are for everyone here, animals/pets, nature, the people of Japan & Haiti who are still recovering, the sick, the poor, and the needy.

Namaste,
Andrew

I light this candle on the eve of the Easter holiday... so that we may find what that "holiday" means to us. I light it for those that are still finding themselves in the throes of darkness.. with no clear end in sight. I light it because with in us we all carry a flame that burns with the warmth of hope and of better days. Know that you are never alone. That we are here, whether you can see us or not.. open your hearts.. because you will then truly feel us... and in those times when you feel most alone.. .you will know that you truly are not.

i burn incense for A/all who have lost beloveds, be they family, friend, human, or animal
i burn incense for all who suffer, thinking esp. of those in the states ravaged by ill weather and those in countries ravaged by damage caused by natural causes and by war
i burn incense for all who walk in darkness
may they know that all are connected and that someone somewhere cares
i burn incense to soothe hearts and souls that need comfort for whatever reason
may its fragrance and light illumine them and give hope
namaste

i burn incense in gratitude for life
foremost for all friends who give so much
impossible to say
for having beyond the basic necessities of life
for the glory of nature
for beloved animal companions
for my friends and community at the planet
humbly and with such gratitude, thank Y/you...not said enough...
for Quan Yin/Tara, Bodhisattva of Compassion
for all Gods and Goddesses
for Tao
namaste

This candle is lit for the warmth of hope. For those that need to find their way through a storm that seems never-ending. However, they do end.. they do come to pass. . . and it is only with perseverance and strength that we endure what we must. For the hope lies in the knowing that storms are only temporary and are set about us to test out faith. Never let go of that faith. Never let go of the knowing that we are here when you need us. Blessed Be.
