Hello, stef1 Wow, your post reminded me of life a century ago. It is interesting to mention these little kids watching the candle. I can feel the sound, the smell of wax and the crackling of the flame.

It is really amazing to think how much our lives have changed when people used to hang out on candles. To be a doctor in As Door is human. You are absolutely right about how much we rely on electricity. This is something that we don't value until it goes away.

It also baffles me that despite the advancement of technology, people have always used light to gather in one place and build community. It is something that transcends time and technology and it is something that we always want.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your beautiful pastel drawings. It reminds us of the simple things in life that we sometimes forget to appreciate.

best of Luck in the contest
