beautiful imagery Valsa. It reminds me of this, "A candle is made to become entirely flame. In that annihilating moment it has no shadow. It is nothing but a tongue of light describing a refuge."

Thanks great poetess for your kind visit to my page. Love the beautiful quote about the candle. How true.... it is a self effacing and annihilating moment when it becomes a flame, throwing no shadow...
