A Candle
No one lights a lamp in order to hide it behind the door: the purpose of light is to create more light, to open people’s eyes, to reveal the marvels around.
Paulo Coelho • The Witch of Portobello: A Novel (P.S.)
The candle allows the darkness to keep its secrets. There is shadow and colour within every candle flame.
John O'Donohue • Anam Cara: 25th Anniversary Edition
Before electricity, people used candlelight at night. This is ideal light to befriend the darkness, it gently opens up caverns in the darkness and prompts the imagination into activity.

Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves.
