Be a lamp

May your light fill the world.

(Not "your" light as in what you believe you can generate, but YOUR light, the light, and what you allow to shine. Thanks to Word of the Day from Gratefulness.org for the following quote.)

I think over again my small adventures, my fears, those small ones that seemed so big, all those vital things I had to get and to reach, and yet there is only one great thing: to live and see the great day that dawns, and the light that fills the world.

-Old Innuit Song

  1. And another fitting quote that showed up in my email, this one from Beliefnet:

    I observe the Buddha's treasury of light producing all oceans of lights: Whether sage or ordinary mortal, animate or inanimate being, none are not endowed with this body of light and openly demonstrating the function of this light. Root and branches are completely included, withdrawal and expansiveness are uninhibited, self-help and helping others are inexhaustible.

    -Liao-an
