Glimmer of Light
Hello, ladies and gentlemen! It's a tremendous privilege and honour for me to deliver a lecture here to share my own perspective on the "Glimmer of Light" with all of you!
Well, a glimmer of light might be the cold shimmer lit up by the glowworms in the undergrowth on a given summer night, or the flames in the hearth warming up a whole house of mirth on a freezing cold winter day, or it might be the luminous elfen gleam in the dark woods which leads you to another world. Yet no matter what it might be, in the boundless darkness, you are sure that those glimmers of light are always there, dispelling the gloom and showing you the way ahead.
As a hero of yore, Prometheus stole fire from Apollo for the humanity, and thus he had to endure the ire of Zeus. However, 'twas the spread of his glimmer of light that enabled us to go through the endless chill. Nowadays, during the awful pandemic, numerous scientists, nurses and volunteers round the world tried their utmost to protect us humankind from the severe threat at any cost. To and fro, through the long dark night, I always recall the efforts and sacrifices they've made, and a sense of gratitude towards these glimmers of light rises spontaneously deep from my heart.
As the Gospel told us, "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house." I'm to be a glimmer of light as well, and one day when the sparks gather together, we will start a prairie fire!
That's all, thanks for your listening!
