"The lantern which I carry in my hand makes enemy of the darkness of the farther road,
And this wayside becomes a terror to me, where even the flowering tree frowns like a spectre of scowling menace, and the sound of my own steps comes back to me in the echo of muffled suspicion.
Therefore, I pray for Your own morning light, when the far and the near will kiss each other, and life will be one in love."
- Rabindranath Tagore
Thank you for this inspiring bodhicitta aspiration prayer....or at least that's how it feels to me.
