the unity candle

„What does the candle represent?”

„The Life.”

„Whose life?”

„All life, every life.  We’re all born as

 molecules in the hearts of a billion stars, molecules

 that do not understand politics, policies and

differences. In a billion years  we, foolish molecules,

forget who we are and where we came from.

Desparate acts of ego. We give ourselves names,

fight  over lines on maps. And pretend our light is

 better than everyone else’s. The flame reminds us

of the piece of those stars that live inside us. A

spark that tells us: you should know better. The

flame also reminds us that life is precious, as each

flame is unique. When it goes out, it’s gone forever.

And there will be never another quite like it.”
