[00:03.48]I Wish
[00:05.54]I wish you the ability to develop the light that is within you,
[00:11.29]to strengthen your spiritual faith,
[00:13.98]to help your faith in yourself to grow and thrive.
[00:17.98]You have the gift of self-sufficiency,
[00:21.67]and the possibility of growing into a person who is strong and able.
[00:27.17]But may you not grow too strong, though,
[00:30.73]so that you reject the help and love and caring of others who wish to be there for you.
[00:37.23]Balance your strength with your needs and the needs of others to be helpful
[00:43.42]and to show their caring.
[00:45.11]I wish you the power of a perspective that allows you to see the beauty of the darkness,
[00:52.92]no matter how threatening your current situation, or how uneasy you may feel.
[00:58.84]There always is light for us to access,
[01:02.87]whether it be the light of God or the light of a close friend,
[01:07.37]or even the light within ourselves that is the power and the strength
[01:13.37]with which we've all been blessed to one extent or another.
[01:17.07]I wish you light in your darkest hours.
[01:21.25]When life seems to be confusing or empty,
[01:25.32]and when your path seems to be hidden in the shadows of pain, doubt, despair, or unrest,
[01:32.93]may you find the light inside of you that will help you to see things as they truly are,
[01:39.49]for every night comes to an end,
[01:42.43]every storm runs its course,
[01:45.37]and light and peace always return to us.
