Admittedly, I don’t burn a candle every day, so apologies for a slightly misleading page title. I don’t have 365 candles, but similar to my decks, you could say I kind of stumbled into collecting them. These posts are a collection of musings, poems, rambles–the thoughts that have come to me not from pulling cards, but from picking a candle in order to ground myself for a few hours out of the day.
As such, they might have a different format or feel than my other poems. Where possible, I try to include an image of the candle that sparked my thoughts. I also list artists and albums I happened to have on shuffle (or repeat) at the time, as it adds another note (ha ha) to these works.

It still counts as a playlist poem if I don’t remember what I was listening to, right?
