What
does the light of one little candle mean to me?
Lighting a candle takes
no effort at all, just a flick of a lighter or a flash of a match. But the
flame is significant. To watch the flame
flicker mesmerizes me. It enthralls my
every being. The warmth consumes me, leaving
me filled with peace and solitude. I
watch the reflection of places and faces. The sweet smell of scented wax permeates my nostrils.
But a flame of such a
small size can be taken for granted. As
it may fill your soul with peace, it can also be devastating, destroying
everything known to you. It can take all
you love away from you within only moments.
Never to release its
wrath, we selfishly keep it restrained. Only
one little candle flame. Do not open the
doors or windows, do not move in speed, do not blow. It can remove itself from our enjoyment as
quickly as it came to be.©
