Lighting a Candle for Harmony, Peace and Kindness

Tonight the UK leaves the EU, and I am sad. But I've decided I'm not going to blog about why I voted to remain - that's pretty irrelevant now. It is in the past. What we need to do is look to the future.

What need to try to heal the rifts that have driven us apart, that have caused countless arguments and have broken up friendships. We need to work together to bring harmony, peace and kindness into the world.

Accepting that others might have different opinions from our own, we need to put disagreements behind us and do what we can to find what we have in common rather than what divides us. We need to look with compassion on those who are upset or suffering; to try to help where we can or at least offer sympathy and understanding.

Tonight I will be lighting a candle and making a wish for all those things. Join me by sparking a flame too, if you want to, and let our wishes go out into the universe together.
