David Artsmith  -  There is nothing more intimate and relaxing than the gentle flickering of a tiny flame. It is a gentle dance that is played out upon the wik, which casts a soft spell over any who views it.

Lighting a candle can ompletely change the mood in a room. It casts a gentle spell over everything, making the world seem quieter, more special, more fragile, even as the tiny flame danes back and forth in its candle holder.

The ambiance that is created by the presence of candles is ethereal. Illuminating less than regular fixtures, shadows are cast on the space, making everything seem a little less real. The world is hazy, and wavering.

In such a space anything can happen. When alone… you may find yourself falling into a phantasm. If you are with someone else, the dream may be shared. The possibilities are endless, and are dictated more by the will of your mind than by the realities of the world.

That is why candles are so romantic. They represent small, inefficient lights. Under the cover of shadow, we are less inhibited. Hidden behind a mask of darkness, it is easier for us to take a leap of faith, and easier someone else to accept your leap. Meanwhile, the flickering flame sets a rhythmic beat, a constant pulse of glow that acts as the backdrop to any situation.

Their romantic power is so overwhelming, that their mere presence can turn a mundane room into a passionate retreat. Try a few scattered around the bathroom, the bedroom, or even the living room. With the lights dimmed and the candles glowing, you can instantly set the mood, with little or no effort.

Candles are a powerful connection with a past set in darkness. Passionate in a gentle manner, they are the embodiement of a oncept of simple beauty, which is pure in its simplicity.
