The Flame of Truth
"The Fire the warms us
As the sun outside
And the subtle warmth within
Are but One
Eternal
Without beginning
Without end
To search for neither
Beginning nor end
Is to light the lamp
Of wisdom within"
Today is kartigai
Thought to myself
'Have to light lamps tomorrow'
As I went to bed last night
Then came these beautiful words
That gently stirred me from sleep
To a gentle awakening
( Kartigai is a festival that celebrates the element of Fire in the Universe. Sisters light lamps to pray for prosperity in the lives of their brohers. I have no biological brothers.
I light a lamp today for prosperity well being and happiness of my brothers, for their well-being and happiness. The whole world is mine so shall light for ALL today. )

Thank you :)
Thank You Matt! Lots and Lots of Happiness and Love
For all the "bad news" reported about the world daily, it still feels to me as though there are more who are intent on championing compassion and peace.
From one who is in TOTAL agreement with your actions and the universal intelligence behind them. Kartigai indeed sounds like a beautiful festival.
Namaste
Thank you for the well wishes and all the best to you too.
