May I be a guard for those who need protection; a guide for
those on the path; a boat, a raft, a bridge for those to cross the flood; may I
be a lamp in the darkness; a resting place for the weary, and a healing
medicine for all who are sick. For as
long as Earthy and sky endure, may I assist until all living beings are
awakened. The Dalai Lama’s as quoted
by Jack Kornfield in “A Lamp in the Darkness”
________________________________________
The darkness is heavy
it hangs like fear
draping itself across the world
concealing
looming
in the deep blackness
fear and uncertainty rule
making us hesitant
groping for our way
but then like a light in the darkness
one comes
like a single candle glowing
dispelling the dense nothing
and illuminating,
faintly at times
but inexorably,
the path which lies before
awakening the dawn of hope
awakening the hearts of those
living in darkness
setting them aflame
with sacred love
and so the light
begins
to
grow
a beautiful movement
of love
