Perhaps I’m just being obvious, but I’ve thought about the candle exercise a bit and I came to the thought that the candle itself is never the same flame. It isn’t a constant, even though when we call it a flame we imply that it is. What makes me wonder is that the flame has to create itself time and time again, or that the flame is a symbol where different patterns derive from?
