Late-Night Thoughts

I wonder.. from these thousand of "me's",
which one am I?
Listen to my cry, do not drown my voice
I am completely filled with the thought of you.
Don't lay broken glass on my path
I will crush it into dust.
I am nothing, just a mirror in the palm of your hand,
reflecting your kindness, your sadness, your anger.
If you were a blade of grass or a tiny flower
I will pitch my tent in your shadow.
Only your presence revives my withered heart.
You are the candle that lights the whole world
and I am an empty vessel for your light.

Jelaluddin Rumi - "Hidden Music"

Simple and elegant, and thought provoking. We conciously, as humans, illuminate the darkness in so many ways. I believe you have done so in this entire gallery with your creative and beautiful, yet thought provoking images.

Emotions are always intensified in the enveloping night time, especially feelings of loneliness, fear and despair. We are children of the light, and we are drawn to it, even if it's only one flickering candle, to wait out the darkness, because it is in the light that we find our courage. V

So simple and effective. A tribute to all those people who enlighten our minds, and guide us throughout the voyage in the darkest night, and at the same time don't burn themselves while sending the message. Beautiful. Vote! Living Spirits O.
