There was a little lantern that thought it was dim.
It kept waiting for someone bigger to light the way.
But every time the night got heavy, every time the wind picked up,
that lantern was the only thing that stayed lit.
One night, the lantern finally asked,
"Why am I always the one glowing when everything feels dark?"
And the answer came back, calm and steady:
"Because you’re not waiting to be lit. You are the fire."
