Aunt Mary’s alabaster lighthouse
THIS IS my Aunt Mary’s alabaster lighthouse nightlight. I have loved it since I was a little boy. I’ve had it for a long time now. Lately, I’ve been leaving it on every night. All night. Sometimes we can be a lighthouse for one another. Sometimes, only a small nightlight. What’s important is to stay lit, to keep on shining.
‘This, my dear, is the greatest challenge to being alive: to witness the injustice of this world, and not allow it to consume our light.’ Thich Nhat Hanh
