“There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one candle.”
–Robert Alden
I really like this quote. It got me to thinking about Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. It occurred to me that they were both assassinated, and I asked myself, “Doesn’t that mean that their lights were put out?”
That’s when I realized another great truth in the quote. We can even lose our lives and still have our light live on and on.
Love,
Russ

Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Russ
so very true – and sometimes it shines even brighter after death!
Good point! For example, I think that artists often fall into that category.
Oh so true Russ! I believe the purpose of our life is to leave something – a legacy – that is greater than what we are.
Thank you for your comment, Meg. One of my goals in life is to leave a lasting positive legacy I can be proud of.

Russ ~ that’s beautiful!
Thank you! So is your spirit, my friend.
