Invite a few friends to do this with you. What you need is a dark room and a single birthday candle or votive. Either one is fine, just as long as it is small. Stand in the darkness and feel the weight of it on your shoulders. Let your eyes adjust and listen to the silence. What do you hear? The rushing waves of your ears? The voices in your head? Let them go. When you are ready, light the candle. See how much of the room it actually lights up! Now, light your friend's candle with yours. Notice how not a single bit of brightness is lost from your candle. Take a minute to not how much the light has increased. If there are more folks keep on sharing the light always pausing to appreciate how bright it becomes. See that, even a single candle can actually banish the darkness. Be the candle today. Share your light with someone. It will make actually make a difference.
