Sometimes our light goes out
but it is blown again into flame
by an encounter with another
human being. Each of us owes
the deepest thanks to those who
have rekindled this inner light.

Albert Schweitzer

tis no other than thyself that rekindles the inner light, by accepting
the helping hand that comes forth to help,
the hanky to wipe thy tears,
the shoulder that offers itself to cry on,
summoning the courage to have another go at life...
