(Nice 18 pic!)

A website burned three candles on a certain day each year. Each candle held symbolic significance: One was for the ideas that were born before the website was created; one was for the ideas in the website; and one was for the ideas that would spring forth after the website was long gone. Each year visitors to the website would stare and watch the candles until they had burned out.

Were the visitors to the website really watching ideas being created in any symbolic sense? They thought so. They thought that each flicker of the flame was an new idea born or one that would be born.

At the moment of abstraction, when the the visitors to the website were imagining ideas as a metaphor of the three candles, they were free: Not free from rules of conduct or social constraints, but free to understand, to imagine, to make metaphor.

The candles burn out for others but we are free.
