Candles are rarely necessary, for the purpose of providing light, when we have access to electricity. It’s when we don’t have access to electricity that the dimmer light from a candle is most useful.

When we take the path less traveled or expand our knowledge and perceptions, we become like candles in the dark. who’s presence seems unnecessary when the sun is out, but vital when we find ourselves roaming in the dark.

Being a candle in the dark can feel vulnerable, especially when we know what having access to electricity feels like. But, the dim light is not a reflection of us being on the wrong path, it’s a reminder that we are providing light to a path, that without our presence, may not exist.
