I love incense. I have only recently discovered this. In fact, as of three weeks ago I never would have thought that I would love it. However, since then I have discovered that incense is awesome. I don't know what it is about it that makes it so obsessing. It certainly smells good, but I think that the real reason I'm attracted to it is the ambiance. Something happens to the room when you light a stick of incense and watch the smoke rise up in little curls. Just knowing that it's there and smelling the scent makes you feel....aesthetically pleased. It's like brewing a pot of loose tea not because it tastes significantly better than bagged tea, but because it's more artistic. I guess I just like being snobby :-) I now burn a stick of incense every night when I go to bed. Thankfully, you can get seven sticks for a dollar at the ren. fair, but I can tell I'm going to run out fast. Here's to all the things we do not because it's necessary, but because it's beautiful.
