Burning Candle

Body ‘s a burning candle, breath ’s oxygen 
Mind ‘s a traffic-flow of thoughts
smile ‘s inspiration

Concentration ‘s discipline, ideas ‘re sparks
Silence is a glow that lights up the path

Awareness comes from introspection
Perseverance leads to wisdom
Surrender brings true freedom

Smita, Being obedient unlocks true release, a powerful concept that resonates with me. Those remarks have great insight. I'm fascinated by the idea that quiet has an ethereal glow that illuminates our trip. I am very grateful for your comments and encouragement on my page.
