Flame and solitude
An exigency of a power outage,
my evening was dictated
by the vagaries of a broken
and shorted power line,
Out of sight….down the road.
Ah, but the result inside the house….
I sat and played the mellifluous Martin,
my son grabbed his camera began shooting candles,
the women folk, ensconced at the kitchen table
to peruse the nuances of dominoes.
Not a bad familial exercise in creatiave
or survival living, albeit for 2 hours.
The most enjoyable must have been,
well, the Martin, of course!
No one complained!

Brilliant capture, my friend!

Bela, your words are like milk…sustaining and supporting. Thank you!

Great shot Wayne…very warm and cosy.
Wayne Cook replied
Candles make light to break the darkness, flame to heat the cold, sensuality to make love. One candle can do all this. Is it not a miracle?

Great shot Wayne….what is a Martin?
Wayne Cook replied
Look for the guitars earlier in my pages…or suffice it to say, in my opinion, playing a Martin is the ear’s equivalent of intimacy
Wayne Cook replied
I am going to do a series on Martin guitars, Yool. A dear friend suggested it just hours ago and I as I love the instrument, I need to find a way to picture it like the feeling.

Candles are like music, if you have the right song, you can listen for hours.

great shot Wayne, sometimes we need a break from the real world…. lost we are in its entangling fast moving pace…. we never take the time to stop and enjoy that moment ….. never feel discouraged at a power outage rejoice for the few moments you have of undivided attention you have with your family and friends…. God bless Wayne…
