A flame going out in the wind may be read as feeling unsettled or worrying that things aren’t going as hoped, but it doesn’t determine what will happen in the future. (This interpretation draws on a folk tradition of reading ritual flames and visits to family graves together as symbols of one’s feelings about family.)
