Pilot lights are ever-burning flames that, when called upon, facilitate our need for warmth. But there are many kinds of warmth. There is a spiritual warmth in words which we visit to warm the divinity within us. When this happens pilot lights are metaphors for writers, poets, philosophers, religious thinkers and fictional authors who help us to see. Now the pilots become creative personalities who ignite our internal flames of affection, understanding and joys assuaging the pains of our days and enkindling the meaning of our destinies.
