be a refuge to yourselves

on

Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to Truth as a lamp; hold fast to the truth as a refuge. Look not for a refuge in anyone beside yourselves. And those, who shall be a lamp unto themselves, shall betake themselves to no external refuge, but holding fast to the Truth as their lamp, and holding fast to the Truth as their refuge, they shall reach the topmost height.
– Guatama Buddha (563-483 BC)

    Thank you for reminding us of what we should already know, probably do, but often forget.

    Lovely. The shadow play adds depth without taking away from the lamp.
