It's never really too late. I'd wager a bet that the majority of us have something we've always wanted to say to someone, or something we've always wanted to do. Your candle is still burning, you've got time. But once that flame flickers out, your chances are all gone. And from this Jewish concept, I see the point of a Bucket List.
I've actually accomplished this goal pretty well. Yesterday specifically, I said something to someone that I really needed them to hear. And it may have been hard to say, but in the end I'm glad I did. I'm glad that person knows what I was thinking.
In the spirit of keeping my candle lit, I took a look at the college bucket lists my roommate and I made together. I have the next 3 years to check off the items on that list. And that's just my college candle! I got to thinking, none of us have just one candle. Our lives may be one candle, but they have many wicks or many different sections of wax to represent different periods in our lives.
"As long as the candle is burning, we can mend our relationships, our world, and ourselves" (39).
