Day 8 of the #Fast19Paintings Challenge (each painting rendered in 19 minutes)

Today my inspiration is this quote from Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá:
"Beg thou God to make thee a lighted candle, so that thou mayest guide a great multitude through this darksome world."

This world isn't just darksome, it is full of rough passages as well as delightful surprises, but when you are feeling like it's all darksome, it's nice when someone comes along to point out the delights and lead you in a kindlier direction.
