Can we be the light that illuminates each other’s path?

One day, a young child plucked a single yellow dandelion from the roadside and presented it to their mother. The child was unaware that this simple gesture would dispel their mother’s lingering sorrow and help her find the strength to face the day.

Light is not just a physical phenomenon; it’s a mindset, a way of being. Sometimes, it’s not grand acts of charity or bold declarations that bring solace, but the smallest, most thoughtful gestures—a well-timed text message, a cup of tea offered in silence.

The French poet René Char once said, “Each of us carries a spark that can illuminate the path behind another.” We need others to live, but to truly live, we need people who bring light into our lives.
