“Keep a little fire burning, however small, however hidden.” Cormac McCarthy
Start with the fuel inside you —
the needs, the wishes, the memories.
Know them, guard them —
the precious products
of your heart and soul.
Then lift your eyes.
Look to the heavens.
See the hopes and the dreams
Of what else might be.
Reach out;
touch with care.
Bring them close
to stoke your fire —
to light your way.
Understanding the “fuel” within us, and using it for optimism is very nice.
What a wonderful daily message. Will keep this one in my night table drawer.
