I took this picture last week. I love this candle in my window. Whenever I see it, I think about light and how secure it is to have a light in the dark. Imagine if all you had was light during the daylight hours. If at night, darkness enveloped us and we could only exist in that darkness; no lights allowed. It would change our world overnight (pardon the pun!) We would be forced to prioritize our day to make the most of the light emitted by the sun, and rest in the evening when we had no more light to live by. Would we get more sleep? Would be suffer from more stress? Would we learn to adapt and choose to slow down? Would we figure out how to beat the system and create light? Would there be black market light rings, coexisting with the drug lords and other shady characters bred from whatever those types of people are bred from?
Okay, how did I go from nJoying my candle to underground, outlaw light criminals? I don't know! I will type this, I love my candle(s) and I am thankful that we have light on demand, not just sunshine. Perhaps a little break from all the stress will do me some good. I like my imagination better when it finds positive rather than dark ideas. Maybe I'll light my candle . . .

Candle light gives a sense of warmth around you. I agree with you. Just think how it was before electricity was invented. It seemed life was so simple then.
