A Meditation from Celtic Daily Prayer
We are candles,
burning between
hope and despair,
faith and doubt,
life and death,
all the opposites.
That is the disquieting place
where we find ourselves.
And if our lives mean anything,
if what we are goes beyond ourselves to
do some good,
it is that somehow,
by being here,
at peace,
we help the world cope
with what it cannot understand.
~William Brodrick
