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
