My gift to you

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

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

You could blow out my candle as I am 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 is a candle in my heart. I could relight the little candle with it. Otherwise, the candle inside would produce a new candle I could again offer to you and others.

I am offering my little candle to you. I am sharing myself with you.
