[nfbmi-talk] to hold a candle, Part 2

[mary wurtzel]

Hello all,
I want to share something about candles.  However, it is a bit 
off this topic.  I hope you-all don't mind.  Some people who know 
me well, have heard this story.
When I was fifty years old, I read a Kernel book story written by 
a lovely lady from N.  Carolina whose name  was Hazel Staley.  
She wrote that she had been afraid to light a candle all of her 
life.  When she was fifty years old,  she learned to do it.  I 
wish I could reread this story,   or tell everyone where to find 
it.
Anyway, I decided that if Hazel could do it, I could do   it.
I share that Joseli Walters hepled me to learn to light a candle  
because I want you know again about the intergenerational nature 
of our movement.  At first, I kept a bowl of water close at hand.
Now, almost every day I light a candle as I have my prayer time.
I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very fruitful 
and blessed 2012.
With Federation love,
Go blue!!!!!
