I Hold the Spark of Life

Each one of us carries the Divine spark of life within.  To the extent that we fan this spark into flame, we are embodying the Divine nature in our day to day lives.  In our quiet moments of prayer and meditation, we ignite our inner flame until our light body is a strong, steady glow that guides us on our path and that we can then pass on to the people we come in contact with each day.

I recall an old song that I was taught as a child, called "Pass it On":  "It only takes a spark to get  a fire going and soon all those around, can warm up to its glowing....That's how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it, it's fresh like spring, you want to sing, you want to pass it on..."

As we approach the darkest days of the year, made less so by holiday lights and sparkle, may we remember the importance of fanning our inner flame and spreading light, warmth and kindness to others.
