Candles, I like to believe, were made for this time of year, when it is cold, cold outside and warm inside.  The yellow light reveals hidden beauty in this candle that we light almost every morning as we have our breakfast and prayer time together.  I sometimes wonder how it is that burning candles touch the spirit.  Added to the delight of  the flame, the changing wax formation adds a touch of mystery and warmth that is satisfying and deep.
