There is a quiet light
                                                          that shines in every heart.
                                                  Though it is always secretly there,
                                                      it draws no attention to itself
                                                          It is what illuminates our
                                              minds to see beauty, our desire to seek
                                                          possibility and our hearts
                                                                    to love life. . .
                                               This shy inner light is what enables
                                                        us to recognize and receive
                                               our very presence here as blessing.'
