There is an exercise that most painters do some day:
a painting about life.
Burnt matches are personal events that have occurred
in the past but enlighten who you are now. There is
no flame to the candle, however, light is emanating
from the vibrating gathering of the burnt matches. The
personal qualities of a soul are made up of many little
actions, thoughts and experiences that happened long
ago and build up one's life glow. Many opportunities
are still awaiting proper use, as matches ready to burst
into flame. We may just need to take them one
by one, day by day. We could contemplate with remorse
the lost ones, the piling up of the scorched debris
of our life, but it is too late. Some memories are simply
pleasant, some are greatly satisfying, and our modest
candle illuminates the darkness of infinity.
