2020 is also the year of decluttering. Many people had to work from home. The offices were closed. Some people couldn’t work at all because the shops were closed for months because of corona. The garbage collection became a lot to do. Many people started decluttering.

A simple life is a beautiful life. Things have the potential to take away time and money. One has to clean things. They need room.

Today I wondered how many candles does a minimalist need? It depends……

We don’t need candles at all. When I was in India a decade ago sometimes the electricity went down. To have a candle at hand made sense.

Here I only think of candle light dinner. Usually we have our main meal during lunch time. It makes no sense to burn candles when it’s bright day.

I’ve two scented candles here. Four candles I had bought at a Christmas market years ago. Two more candles were presents that I got. Every candle has it’s own personality. To create a still life with all these different candles could be a good idea.

Winter is coming. It could be romantic to burn candles…….

Couldn’t it be wonderful to burn one of the scented candle and to meditate next to it?

I’m still not sure if I need candles………..
