You’re in a dark room.
So dark you can’t see anything.

You light a single candle.
It brings some light to the room.
It’s still dark but now you can see.

You light another candle…
And another.

You keep lighting candles around the room.
Every small flame adds a little more light.

Standing there in the room now flooded with light, you feel it all around you.
But you could never separate the light to distinguish one candle’s light from another.

The light filling the room is one!

Like each flame anchoring light into the room, you anchor peace and light into the world through your heart, for the rest of humanity.

And, just like the candles in the room, you’re not alone!
You’re part of something greater than yourself.

A peaceful world is a joint effort.
A combined aspiration of the heart.

Quiet your mind.
Remember stillness.
The nurturing and unwavering source of Life.
Your heart knows it well.

Hear the call!

Ignite the flame of your heart.
Anchor peace here and now.

The world needs your heart to shine.

A peaceful world is a joint effort.
A combined aspiration of the heart.
