When a human soul is born into the world

it is given a bowl filled with light.

The light is the child's unique potential

and the gift it brings to the community.

As the child grows up,

and this happens to everyone,

stones are placed in the bowl.

Some are put in by others

and some by the child itself.

As the stones fill the bowl

it becomes heavier

and increasingly difficult

to carry and the light becomes duller.

Sometimes it is buried from sight

But it doesn't ever go away completely.

Inevitably,there comes a time

When work of emptying the stones

From the bowl must begin.

In the work our only enemy is fear.

Let's hope that just one day,everyone dares to empty the stones from their bowl.

Love,
