I selected a candle
March 18, 2015 at 7:17am
The candles waxiness was long and white, like a naked woman. I lit the candle in the still solitude of soft light. I felt I should pray for someone on this occasion, so I thought of you, or her, or her... But all of them were woman from previous lives. I had hauled something from the life before last into the life I am leading today... A person can be buried by the past if his memory is too strong.
If I had a shred of love left in me, she would be the one I should love
It appeared that I had only one woman in this current life, and one child.
The sins of this world can be forgiven so long as they do not take you to the ground... I placed my lit candle that was so like all of you in front of the congregation of candles and watched it dissolve into the general pool of light and I could not tell which candle was you or her... But I did see the haunting eyes of a young boy staring at me through the dimming light
