I went over to a meeting of a men's group at a retreat house nearby. A small group of us sit around and talk about life for a couple of hours. It is a really interesting group made up of men from all walks of life. To help set the mood, the person who moderates the group brings the tablecloth and this candle. I spent a lot of time looking at it tonight, for some reason. I am not sure it has a specific meaning, but I like the feel of the sculpture that holds the candle, and of course, the feeling of the light.
Beautiful! Circle of friends.....all connected through prayer.

Legend of the Circle of Friends
ReplyDelete"Since the beginning of time, friendship has been the most important relation that humans have experienced. Ancient cultures used to gather around a new fire to celebrate peace and friendship among tribes. The legend tells that if you give a circle of friends to a person you care for, your bonds of friendship will endure forever."
Wow, thank you, thank you all for your comments. I woke up this morning and realized that the candle-holder and the candle were a metaphor of the gathering of our group. It only took me 12 hours to figure it out! :-) Thank you so much for posting"The Legend of the Circle of Friends."
