a flame


- click on image -


I made this image after the event described below.
The chair was carved by our mother's mother.

When I saw the candle (sorry, I don't know the artist)
on my friend Zom's blog
it reminded me of what happened when my twin & I
were meeting for the first anniversary of our mother's
death. We lit some floating candles in the evening,
next morning we lit them again, but they burnt out.
We were talking about Petrea for another 15 minutes,
looked at the bowl again, & four candles
had re-ignited. (We are 4 siblings)
Even though it doesn't fit with my beliefs
it felt really extraordinary.
