It had been so long since I had lit a candle for the sheer pleasure of sitting silently beside it...
Rest yourself, I told myself.
But really rest.
Don't think about things you want to do.
Tell your brain it has the night off, and relax.
I peeked out my bedroom windows...
The pink light was creeping in...
I lit my candles...
Do you ever forget to do nice things for yourself?
I used to light candles every night.
Now I can count on one hand, how often I lit a candle this year.
I love music and candles, at the same time.
Must do this more often.
It was really beautiful, the blue and pink light from outside, mixed with the flickering of the candles....
Peaceful and dramatic, all mixed into one.
For a second, I slipped into the 17th century...
Into a Vermeer...
And was inspired...
The paints beckon!
See you soooon!
Love, V
