“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Had a wonderful experience a few years ago. I’m not a big church goer but one Christmas Eve went to midnight mass. The church was in total darkness everyone held an unlit candle then a lone candle lit one candle who lit the candle next to them ( and so on) until every candle was lit and church was full of light. Most peaceful and uplifting experience . Had forgotten all about this until I read your post Dee . Thank you x

It was something my Aunt sent me today who is also called Dee and she is a Buddhist and she sent the quote to me (nearly cried) as she says I am a candle that lights a room!

I love candles and the service you went to sounds wonderful.x
