“Now, near the Winter Solstice, it is good to light candles. All the nice meanings of bringing light to the world can be beautiful.
But perhaps we are concentrating on lighting the world because we don’t know how to light up our own lives.” ~ Ralph Levy Photo by Scott Robinson; Source: Flickr.com
“Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of
love!” ~ Hamilton Wright Mabie

“Christmas reminds us we are not alone. We are not unrelated atoms, bouncing and ricocheting amid aliens, but are a
part of something which holds and sustains us. … Christmas shows us the
ties that bind us together, threads of love and caring, woven in the simplest and strongest way within the family.”
~ Donald E. Westlake

“Light is more than watts and footcandles. Light is metaphor. Light
is knowledge, light is life, light is light.”
~ Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
Let there be light. Light is enlightenment, a hope for the future. Let this Diwali brighten
your mind with the lamps of Hope, Joy, Happiness, Peace, Prosperity, and Good Health.
“Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame. Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness of the heart.” ~ Hannah Senesh

A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, But softly gives itself away While quite unselfish, it grows small.

“Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show. The secret lies in an inner glow. It’s lighting a fire inside the heart. Good will and joy a vital part. It’s higher thought and
a greater plan. It’s glorious dream in
the soul of man.” ~ Wilfred A. Peterson

we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who
need it most.”
~ Ruth Carter Stapleton
“And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”

“Come out into the universe of
Light. Everything in the universe is yours, stretch out
your arms and embrace it with
love.”
~ Swami Vivekananda
May there always be light in your life and love in your heart. Forever strive to move out of darkness
and into the light.
We pray that the light always lead our life so we can shine in the dark world.
May the lights of Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, and Christmas usher in a better world for all.
As a single candle has the ability to light many more candles, may we continue to illuminate the
lives of those around us.
