Themed Features - Volume 2
December - Holidays Season...
In this (at least for some parts of the world) darkest time of the year, I would like to present to you a themed feature on CANDLES and CANDLELIGHT.
We all know them... We call them kers - lys - kaars - bougie - kerze - gyertya - candela - vela - bujia - ljus depending on what language we speak. We lit them - sometimes, when electricity is not available - to have some light. But mainly, to create some atmosphere, during a meal with family, friends or beloved ones, and on a long but cosy winter evening... On certain occasions too, special festivities, birthdays... Sometimes for prayer, or to remember someone or something in a special way...
Candles are gentle, they bring us light and warmth, connectedness and company...
While browsing dA for some great candle-art, and afterwards, while I was preparing this journal entree and article, I found some quotes that I would like to share with you...
QUOTES
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” ~ Buddha“Man loves company - even if it is only that of a small burning candle.“ ~ Georg C. Lichtenberg“There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle” Robert Alden“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Edith Wharton“It’s not the candle that makes the flame, but the flame that makes the candle” ~ Paul Claudel “It’s not necessary to light a candle to the sun.” ~ A. Sidney “Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness” ~Chinese Proverbs Enjoy the features, and if you like the art, don't forget to
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL!
