I came across this quote form Elisabeth Kubler-Ross:

"People are like stained glass windows. 
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, 
their true beauty is revealed only of there is a light from within."

It reminded me today of alot of things... but foremost on my mind today... is the thought that...

even though we think there is little we can do to change the world... or to change out little portion of it...
we still have this light. It shines ... not dependent on others for that light...
but comes from deep within us. it is something only we can do... only we have...
and it has the potential to illuminate every dark area... completely wiping out any negativity or darkness....
even from such a tiny flame.
