In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. -Albert Schweitzer
Lovely. And for sure,it’s true. I reckon we need to keep our own light burning, but without doubt another’s light can help rekindle that flame. ~Catherine
a beautiful quote, Marie, and oh, so true. having one’s spirit re-kindled is such a feeling of re-newal. I am so fascinated with how the subject of “flame” and “light” has been so riveting for so many of the great poets and writers, and for us all who know full well how meaningful it is as it pertains to gratitude and our well-being. thank you for a lovely mindful Monday post.
". . .and the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and JOYFUL, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home."
Wendell Berry
