May
the Light of Truth illumine our minds.
May the Spark of Love set our hearts on fire. May the Flame of Freedom burn brightly within
us. Now and always.

Candles of Joy and Sorrow and Meditation

Affirmation

another.

Extinguishing
the Chalice Flame (in

the fire of commitment. These we carry in our hearts until we are together
again.
