| Striking a Match for Lighting by Shinyoung An |
Tonight is the Winter Solstice. It's a night for lighting candles.
Light a candle for the one trying to find their way.
Light a candle for the one missing someone they love.
Light a candle for the one struggling to remember their belovedness.
Light a candle for the one longing for good news.
Light a candle for the one living in a war torn place.
Light a candle for the one who keeps on caring.
Light a candle for the One who brings light.
About the art - the painting is a favorite. I notice the hands striking a match over the newspaper - as if bringing a bit of light to all that is reported from across the world. You and I can bring our spark of light to the darkness. That is something beautiful, something good.
