Candles: Symbol of Peace

Even in the deepest darkness of war news, we need to have hope and belief. We need a symbol for peace. For me, that symbol is a lit candle. Perhaps we could all start marking our blogs with a lit candle, representing our desire for the US to end this war and all engagement of war. Given the problems with fire hazards, I found an electric candle that I am going to leave lit in the window. In the middle ages, when our culture was in the deepest darkness, a candle represented a chance to read, write, talk or tell stories. It was supposed to help people find their way home. Let the lit candle be our hope to find our way home to peace.

Peace be with you!
