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.”
