Candles and relaxation

I've been spending more time in my flat in the past month and it's been really nice. I have more candles and more comfort in my space. I do link the two because lighting candles makes a space feel less sterile, less static. I like the faint smell of burning and the warm glow from the flame. Like lighting a fire in the fireplace or at a beach, there's something invigorating and soothing about it. Perhaps it's that little bit of chaos in the fire that can sustain life or destroy it.

I wish I had a fireplace today. It's a little cooler today, overcast and windy. It would be nice to curl up in front of the fire and just watch the flames dance.
