LIGHT ONE CANDLE
Peter Yarrow- ©1983 Silver Dawn Music ASCAP
Light one candle for the Maccabee children
With thanks that their light didn't die
Light one candle for the pain they endured
When their right to exist was denied
Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice
Justice and freedom demand
But light one candle for the wisdom to know
When the peacemaker's time is at hand
Don't let the light go out!
It's lasted for so many years!
Don't let the light go out!
Let it shine through our love and our tears.
Light one candle for the strength that we need
To never become our own foe
And light one candle for those who are suffering
Pain we learned so long ago
Light one candle for all we believe in
That anger not tear us apart
And light one candle to find us together
With peace as the song in our hearts
Don't let the light go out!
It's lasted for so many years!
Don't let the light go out!
Let it shine through our love and our tears.
What is the memory that's valued so highly
That we keep it alive in that flame?
What's the commitment to those who have died
That we cry out they've not died in vain?
We have come this far always believing
That justice would somehow prevail
This is the burden, this is the promise
This is why we will not fail!
Don't let the light go out!
It's lasted for so many years!
Don't let the light go out!
Let it shine through our love and our tears.

Did I mention that good citizenship means respecting others? Because if no one here interacts with anyone else, how can anyone show that they're respecting others, and deserve presents?

These organizations are not there to spread their philosophies, to push their agendas, to convince anyone to take up their politics, though some of them do start from a political or religious perspective (that is, their religions teach them to give and share, and so they do). These organizations exist purely to serve the concrete, physical needs of the world. Go to these websites, or find other organizations that specifically exist to meet the needs of humanity. Learn something. Then do something to help. Thank you. http://www.mazon.org/ -- A Jewish response to world hunger. http://www.cancer.org/ -- Help cure cancer. http://www.anticruelty.org/ -- Protect innocent animals. http://www.arkchicago.org/ -- Assist the homeless with food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and other resources. http://www.heifer.org/ -- Help the hungry to help themselves. http://locksoflove.org/ -- Give the gift of normalcy to children who have survived chemotherapy.

Back from laundry folding. It was the last of six loads, and in between the folding, I've cleaned my living room, my dining area, my office area, my kitchen, my bedroom, and yes -- I've even prepared tonight's dinner AND tomorrow's meals. I am SO GOOD! cool

Yep, very shiny. They were what I bought with my Chanukah gelt (money given as a gift) a few years ago. Next time I have a little bit to spare, I'm really thinking I'll want to get the matching cordial set and possibly also the menorah, although the menorah doesn't actually conform to Jewish law. The eight Chanukah candles are all supposed to be in a straight line, and the Shamash (servant candle, used to light the others) is supposed to be the only one that's offset a bit. But it's so beautiful, you know? Anyway, I'm out of this thread now. I'll be out of the other one in half an hour.
