WAX GURU
Anything can be a teacher, containing a lesson
It doesn't have to be something we learned
"The hard way."
It can also be learned from the easy way
Of observing exactly what you are doing right now
And looking for lesson contained within
For example, this morning I lit a new candle
After anointing it for our good, specifically,
That we are in the best place for us to be
"North, South, East, and West
Go to the place that serves you best"
At first the wick lit very brightly
Too brightly, as it turns out
Because it burned right down to the wax surface
And fizzled out
Lesson #1) Don't give up in frustration
But I have come across this situation before
Lesson #2) Don't reinvent the wheel, use what has worked in the past
And I tipped the candle while holding a lighter to the wick
Enough wax ran off to relight the wick
Now our candle is burning nicely
Lesson #3) Appreciate and enjoy your successes
This was a teaching contained within the act
Of lighting a candle, a wax guru come to gently
Remind me that
Lesson #4) Things might start out great but then fizzle out
Yet life experience can pick up the tangle and fix it
We can get double value from the events in our lives
If we look for the teaching contained in each
Precious moment of our enchanted lives
