CD : Use that Quote 7


"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared"
Buddha (Siddhartha Gauthama)

shadows on the wall
one single candle shines its light
towards the world

© Chèvrefeuille

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
every week one day
left holy; pair of candles
or one for each soul

our presence is required now
focus, bring the past forward

one for each soul or
blessings and prayers unite
us differently
