-- Hafiz
You shine! We all do. And we're all blind, at least most of the time, to the incredible light that permeates, infuses, and oozes from us.
Instead we see meat. We see bodies And we compare, and we miss the light.
The Light is always being. The Light is our Being. It shines whether we know it or not. We all need to become one-eyed people in the kingdom of the blind. The one eye being the third eye, the eye that sees the Light, that sees nothing but Light.
"This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine," the old hymn says. "Let" is the operative term here. You don't have to make it shine. You don't have to will it, or force it, or learn how to do it. Just relax and release and let the shining happen.
It will, it does. I can see it in you, when you can't see it in yourself. And you can see it in others when they are blind to it, too. Light all around us.
Perhaps all we can do is give each other reminders, give each other clues. The Light never goes out. The Light shines in you, through you, as you. You don't need Tom Bodette to "leave the light on for you." It's always on. Even in the heart of darkness, see it shine.
