Happy Diwali; May the blessing of light be on you

I wish you a bright, prosperous, peaceful, and awesomely happy  Diwali. May the light always shine upon you.

I am taking a break from my travelogues to post a little something on Diwali:) In my subsequent posts, I will post some of the Durga puja pandals that I loved. Even though it is delayed.... I would still love to share those...some of them are so unique and out of the world, it makes it all worthwhile:)

On the occasion of Diwali, here is a paragraph from a Scottish prayer that I love. 

May the blessing of light be on you

-Scottish  Prayer

May the blessing of Light be on you

Light without and light within,

May the blessed sunlight shine on you

And warm your heart till it glows like

A great peat fire, so that the stranger

May come and warm himself at it,

And also a friend.

And may the light shine out of the two eyes of you,

Like a candle set in two windows of a house,

Bidding the wanderer to come in out of the storm.
