Candlelight Thoughts and Shadow Puppets

 

 

There’s something inherently soothing about the flickering glow of a candle, especially in the stillness of the night. I find myself drawn to the dancing flames. Each flicker casts shadows that come alive on the walls, creating an intimate dance that seems to tell stories of its own. 

Watching the candlelight, I am transported into stillness. I reflect on the day gone by, letting thoughts bubble up then fade. Each flicker of light feels like a reminder to take a deep breath, to let go of the day’s stress. In this moment life’s struggles seem to subside, giving way to beauty that often lies beneath the surface. Enjoying this moment I lift my arm and make a shadow puppet with my hand like we did as children. 

As the wax melts and the flame continues its gentle dance, I can’t help but feel a sense of gratitude. Grateful for the warmth that the candle brings, for the peace of the night, and for the ability to pause and simply just be. Sitting here, lost in the flicker of the light, I realize that sometimes the most profound moments occur when we find stillness—when we allow ourselves the space to reflect and dream. These moments are keepsakes.
