The Glowing Ember of Your Heart

185260_glowing_embers_1.jpg

Everybody I know has something within them -- ember-like and glowing -- that is completely capable of flaming up at at any given moment.

This "something" has been called many things by many people throughout the ages, but it does not need a name to give off light.

Primal, elemental, and pure, it is the innate potential every human being has to be fully alive.

What fans the flame of this unnameable ember varies from person to person, but its essence is the same: the power to ignite a transcendental sense of wholeness, goodness, and joy.

Some people have this moment once in their lives. Some have it every day.

Here's my New Year's wish for you: Find that which fans the glowing ember of your heart. And when you do, give thanks.
