watching a candle
illuminate a dark space
quietens my soul
Alongside a quiet watching there’s quite often a quiet listening – and we may thereby find ourselves ‘illuminated’ inside and out.
Several times today I have come across observations about the high state of anxiety that afflicts vast swathes of our humankind.
Human anxiety often arises from an acute sense of helplessness – our inability to change innumerable situations we dearly wish could be changed.
My mental chatter exacerbates anxiety and does little or nothing to help anyone. So I seek, and invite others to seek, quietening from a candle.
