I just discovered another lavender candle in my closet. This was the first candle I purchased of the series during the year 2000. It is short and square, with melted out portions around the corners. I intend to light it later this evening in ceremonial ritual in the center of my living room. I plan for the ritual to begin at 2200, local time.

This time, I am the only person who will be invited to attend the ceremony. Nobody else will be welcome.

I already know in advance who the candle will represent. I won't need to burn it before naming it.

This candle will represent sixth person who was let go.

This candle will be myself.
