Just heard a thump and looked around to see the lit candle (that had been burning on the kitchen counter) rolling across the floor. My special needs child apparently decided it didn't belong there. Never a dull moment in my house... In other news, lit candles rolling across carpeted floors don't automatically result in fires...

At poor peace I sing
To you strangers (though song

The fire of birds in
The world's turning wood,
For my sawn, splay sounds,)
