Religions, Cults, & Spirituality

Where is the divine?
In religions, it’s from a book.
In cults, it’s from a person.
In spirituality, it’s from you.
But you are a candle.
Many of you will go a lifetime without flame.
Some of you will spontaneously combust.
Those that remain must be lit by another.
Once you have your flame, share it.
The flame is infinite. That’s its gift.
It’s warm, and bright, and beautiful.
But it’s been used to destroy.
So be careful.
Light those that are ready. Wait for the rest.
Together we turn dark to light.
