"What is to give light must endure burning." Viktor Frankl

And so I burn, for what is giving light, but bringing a smile on someone's face, or watching a blanket of peace settle between their brows, instead of the ridges there were just moments ago?

Yet the burning that I endure calms my soul as I lay myself down to sleep in the still of the night.

And that is what matters. That I sleep peacefully at night.
