this morning i thought about the idea of an online sanctuary and i reflected a bit on all the sacred moments i experienced on the net. mostly through connecting with amazing people like you, sharing compassion and light.
in many traditions lighting a candle is a sacred act, a ritual, a form of prayer. it can be a moment to fully sink into the present and to become aware of the quiet beauty of existence. i light a candle for my son every night to guide him through his dreams. there are numerous reasons to light candles, probably as many as there are people.
if you find your own personal reason to light a candle, and have a few moments time, i invite you to light one here and hope you’ll experience a moment of peace.
