'Have you got a light?'
Simple enough request. A smoker, in need of a puff on a fag. I get it. Considering how much I love to re-interpret all the events that happen in my little life, I am surprised it has taken me so long to notice this little phrase.
Twice this week I have been asked for a light. Twice I have dismissed the request. 'No. I don't smoke. I used to smoke but I gave it up'. When people ask me for a light, I bore them with the story of how I gave up. Yes, this is how I see a request for a lighter. An opportunity to tell smokers that giving up is the way forward. I provide a role model for them. If I can do it, they can do it. Obviously I don't say this to anyone who needs a cigarette, I just share my personal experience with them.
But wait, also this month I have come across disposable lighters on my path, disposed off, discarded, dropped because they are no longer working.
'Have you got a light?' .....do you know what. I have got a light. It doesn't involve any flammable materials or burning tobacco. No, the light I have comes from within. Of course. A reminder to shine my own light, be the beacon of difference you want to be in the world.
Next time someone asks me if I have a light I am going to have to reply 'only from within'. It will be interesting to see what happens!
Lots of love and light to everyone who needs it.
