"Be a lamp unto yourself"

I haven't been posting about our Advent readings, but we've continued to have them. I've been battling writer's block. But I thought I'd share what I read tonight...

'Be a lamp unto yourself.
Don't search for light anywhere else;
the light is already there, the fire is already there.
Just probe a little deeper into your being, enquire.
Maybe much ash has gathered around the fire...
Just probe deep inside, and you will find the spark again.
And once you have found a single spark inside you,
you will become a flame, soon you will be a fire...
a fire that purifies, a fire that transforms,
a fire that gives you a new birth and a new being.
Be a lamp unto yourself.'
Last words of Gautama, the Buddha

And for music, I went with this. (Not entirely sure it goes with the Buddha quote, but I think the song is cool.)
