Cyberspace candle lighting

I recently  discovered  a site where it is possible to light a candle in cyberspace. I regularly light real candles as part of my own quiet space or as part of my prayers for others and it is a ritual I find very helpful and meaningful. I wasn't sure about cyberspace candle lighting though - it seemed not quite me. But I decided to give it a go and see how it was. I have to say it was quite a positive experience and in the end as the person I was lighting the candle for is on the other side of the world it somehow seemed fitting. The site is at www.gratefulness.org/candles/enter.cfm - it is part of a website connected with Brother David Steindl-Rast. There are several steps to lighting the candle including being able to write a dedication for the person / situation for whom the candle is being lit which can then be read by others who click on the candles. There's also a place to indicate which country you are from. I initially thought NZ had been left out as it wasn't listed where you would expect it to be alphabetically but eventually discovered it at the bottom of the N's under NZ Aotearoa. The candle stays lit for 48 hours. You can go back and find your candle among the thousands of others ( 13000 from 110 different countries when I looked tonight) and it will actually have "melted down" as time goes on. I remain surprised at how helpful and prayerful I found cyberspace candle lighting and will probably use the site again while continuing to appreciate lighting real ones.
