"Many Lamps, One Light"
"As we embrace the joy of Deepavali, we are once again reminded that we each carry a spark from the one light that unites us."
I saw this advertisement by ASTRO in the STAR newspaper today. To me, it's very meaningful. To crop it into a smaller picture, this can mean a family. Each oil lamp can mean a member of the family and each one of us have the special bonding among us that nobody else could replace.
Tomorrow is Deepavali, the festival of light and it will be the day I teach my children about unity. It will be a day to teach them how to love each other, to treasure this relationship and to appreciate that they have a family.
Happy Deepavali to those who are celebrating it and happy holidays to all of you out there.
