flame

Instead of laying down to read as I had initially planned about twenty minutes ago, I've been downloading my photos.  While they transferred from camera to computer, I watched my candle light flickering.  No no, I'm not sitting in the dark with the glow of my computer screen and one lit biscotti scented candle as I may have made you imagine.  I've my corner medusa lights on too.  Back to my biscotti light.  

Nope.  

I just went on a net-tangent reading about the earth's magnetosphere...at least it's relevant.

Despite a simple candle flame not truly being a plasma, I still think it exhibits a very similar structure as the auroras.  If you look closely, the tip of the flame sometimes has noticeable cuts jutting into it to make it look like the curtain shape of the auroras.

Maybe that's god's way of giving a little bit of spectacular lights to anyone who can create a flame.
