I had something like that happen Winton, except I wasn't holding a candle. I was doing some nasal cleansing and tripped. For a moment I thought I saw God but that was just the effects of my finger touching my skull.
If I wore bangs they would be passed my jaw. I wear my hair back and it is past my shoulders. It has been over 3 years since I had a haircut. I am going through another hippie stage with hair and tattoos.I also had long hair in the 80's and 90's.
