A spark can both burn down or enlighten. Depends on how the spark originates and is handled. However it originates, the power of creation or destruction are endless. It is how we handle the fire, gives the result. Sometimes it enables us to cook a fabulous meal, read a beautiful book, light an entire city, or burn down a lush green forest forever.
Bharathi wrote in beautiful Tamil "Agnikkunjondru..." I feel I cannot bring in the feel and power of those four lines by translation. But while thinking back on the sparks - too many are let to die un attended...
I wonder how ever to bring the light out from the darkness. What??? Bring light out from dark?? How can darkness engulf light? When it is clouded by dark smoke or darker clouds we cannot see the light right? In smoke and cloud, even light can be hidden behind darkness. Some darkness, such as ignorance and arrogance are such strong clouds that they can hide even the brightest sparks.
With gentle breeze of wisdom, strength, and the determination of the waves, navigate the smoke away to enjoy a sweet brightness.
