Let Light Win

12 months ago I stumbled out of the hopelessly dark cavern that had been my home just in time to watch the sunrise.
The world was full of more light than I had ever thought possible. Purest gold and softest rose filled my horizon, and I learned a lesson. Grace makes life beautiful.

Today I'm standing in another kind of darkness. Softer, friendlier, it's whispering to me that I'll find the light again soon. And this time, I've been given a candle. I'm holding onto it tight, each day fighting not to let it go out so I can hold up it's soft, warm glow to the world. My candle is my gift, but whether I keep it burning or not is my choice.

I'm choosing to let the light win.
