find out what the country's customs are,
and refrain from offending against them.

Trust in the Light.
Darkness is not a force -
it is merely the absence of light.

Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.

not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
