There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that receives it. —Edith Wharton—
Each of us carries within us the power to illuminate others. Likewise, we are enlightened by others’ gifts of perception. Every exchange of ideas, each expression of feeling, instructs us when our restraints against new information are broken down.
It is an awesome realization that whoever and whatever engage us are purposeful, having their place in our development at that moment. Nothing is for naught, and what we are inspired to share with another, too, fits into their scheme.
There is a message to be gleaned every moment. The choice to be enlightened awaits us.
Today will offer me lessons and information that I need. Will I accept enlightenment?
