LET US LIGHT A CANDLE

Last night, I lit a candle
for the people of the United States.

This night, I will light a candle again because
many are bereft at the news and find fear
the occupier of their thoughts.

Lighting a candle is a simple act
but if I light a candle this night
and you – and you – and you – and you
light a candle this night
for the people of the United States
and the nights to come …
whether we light a candle
in our imagination
in our prayers
or in real time and space,
may hope
be
lit.

It only takes one match to light one candle
… one voice to light a conversation
… one conversation to light a change in one person

Let’s light a candle. Let’s light many candles.
Let’s light conversations. And who knows – maybe those conversations will turn into votes.
At this point in time, it’s about HOPE. Let’s keep hope lit!
Let us light a candle.
