My gift to you

I’m extending my arms to you, holding a little candle in my cupped hands. The candle is spreading a glowing light and radiating warmth. It’s also spreading a warm feeling.

The little candle is my gift to you. With it, I’m sharing my light, offering it to you and others. I’m also sharing myself with you.

You could blow out my candle as I’m presenting it to you. You might even trample on or destroy it. I won’t feel hurt or rejected. I won’t regret offering you my candle.

There’s a candle in my heart. I could relight the little candle with it. Otherwise, the candle inside would bring forth a new candle I could again offer to you and others.

I’m offering my little candle to you. I’m sharing myself with you.
