There is no flame
without wax being consumed
Offer yourself
Be wax // keep the light burning
aromatically and bright

Painting; Dwight L. Roth

Love the image and love the verse Dwight. Yes my friend, I agree, if you truly want to shard your light, for the purpose of making a difference in the world — we must offer some of ourselves in support of that intention. Speaking of intention, I had every intention of working with the CD you forwarded me a while back. In the recent turbulence, i dropped the ball — I am trying to dig it up and invest some time with it. I apologize for letting it fall out of my focus.
