One Candle Lighting Another

Shining together
each one brighter
shining together
creating a brush fire

Empowering each other
witnesses together
offering freely
the gifts of our lives

Born of the one light
the rising of Christ
shining brightly
in this earth, the dark

Together burning
ever brighter still
together shining
that the whole world may live

give other people permission to do the same.” Nelson Mandela
