Note from the Candlemaker:
This one of the most important candles I've ever made for my own journey, and I love this quote by Wayne Dyer. At first I thought enlightenment is an awfully fancy word, until I realized its meaning holds other words I most long to experience in life:
serenity ~ joy ~ peace of mind ~ love ~ connection to God and others
The quote I really wanted to use on this candle is several lines too long to fit on our labels, but it sums up exactly why and how I need to practice acceptance as part of my spiritual experience on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis:
"Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation—some fact of my life—unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed do be at this moment." —Paul O.
One of the great paradoxes in life is tremendous strength arises from surrendering to what-is. As Kathleen Casey Theisen wrote, "Acceptance is not submission; it is acknowledgement of the facts of a situation. Then deciding what you're going to do about it."
I offer this candle with a tremendous amount of relief and the hope that it helps you on your journey as well.
