Day 1951: “Sometimes it is good to fly close to the flame, see and experience the heat, but then fly away again, to survive, to be wiser in the art of heat,” says Robert Black.
         Doesn’t flying close to the flame take courage though? From where can we find that courage and how can we know when to fly away again without getting hurt?

Test of Faith

Flames burn
or consumes the moth
that flies too close.

The danger is known,
but life
is too short
not to take the risk.

Faith
requires action;
requires us to test
our wings
near the blaze
of love.

DAY 2346: If you give people light, they will find their own way. ~ Dante Alighieri
What do you think?

Lighting the Flame of Search.

Speak
don't remain silent
because silence is darkness
concealing the path.

Speech is a light,
a flame,
revealing the way
out of darkness.

By proclaiming truth
as you perceive
you light the fire of curiosity,
of search,
the the mind of another.

Once the flame of search
is ignited
it cannot be extinguished.
