When you light a candle, you can choose to light it with love and mindfulness. You need to let it burn to its true potential, radiating love and serenity to every corner of its circle.
If you blow it out too soon, you extinguish its true purpose. The memory it has created will be only a temporary one. If you let it burn until it satisfies and reaches the rim, it creates a wide and deep pool from which to draw upon. It becomes whole and satiated. It retains this deeper memory with love and integrity, waiting to be relit again and again in order to release its full power.
Let yourself be this candle.
