A friend is the wax that keeps the flame lit, an enemy is the wind that blows it out.

It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

"Be a candle that the wind won't blow out, to light the path for a friend" ~Tom Baker

In the end, people will not be judged by the darkness they lived in, but by the light they rejected.

The wind forgets. It will always forget as it never stays still long enough in one place for a memory to remain. A flame is the same. It flickers as though the memory is a painful one causing distress that needs evicting. It is only in that which is solid can a memory exist until it chiselled away by time. And there we have it; the longer we spend in reminiscing the more chance it is for the wind to extinguish the flame!

I love the way you lit candles, with the insistence that I never look, just so I can open my eyes and find the light in the darkness.
