The Light of Meditation

In the evening me and a friend was returning from cross country skiing. It was time for tea and chess at the local cafe. My friend started out very good and took the lead. I decided not to give up and got into deep concentration. He did a few mistakes and I took the lead. He wanted to quit, and told it was over. I told him do not give up, you never know what can happen in the end I told him. He did a very smart move. I was leaning on my elbow and went into deep chess mediation. A mysterious light was shining over the chess pieces, but I did not take much notice of it. So many people into deep meditation talks about seeing some sort of light, why not also me.

Then suddenly my arm felt very warm, or should I say burning. My jumper was on fire, I quickly extinguished it. My jumper was "luckily" made of some type of cotton that not burnt that well, so no big deal, no damage to my arm, just that my sleeve got a bit shorter. Oh yes there was a candle on that cafe table.

After this I lost my concentration a bit and my friend was close to beating me, but in the end I made him chess mate.

This was just a mini tail-event or may be I just should say clumsiness (out of several tail event this months).
