A woman was desperate for change in her life and lit a white candle every day for a month while praying for something she wanted. As the candle burned down, its shape transformed from beautiful to ugly, mirroring the spiritual and emotional growth she experienced during that time. By the end, the woman learned that keeping a humble heart allows light to shine even when the spirit feels dark. The story was told over four weeks, with the woman photographing the changing candle to document the lesson in humility she was being taught.

1. Humility
In the next slides you will you will be taken through one
woman’s desperate lesson in humility. That woman was Me!
The story: I was desperate for change. While some people
would shy away from it for me no change is like dying from
thirst. Slow, dry and sad. Not so long ago I went through such
a state. In desperate attempt to attract something that I
thought I really wanted I bought a white candle which I would
light every day for the whole month and pray that I get it. As
days went on I saw that the candle was changing form
transforming from a beautiful shape to an ugly blob. What
was so amazing about watching this was how the candle and
flame mirrored the growth I went through. I photographed it
because I felt like I was being taught something. In the end I
was sure of one thing : “when you feel like your spirit is in the
dark, obey and be gentle because light will always shine on a
humble heart. “
