Me thinks all of us have the element
of fire on our minds of late . . .
We sat near our Christmas trees, much
enjoying the fire in the background.
So lends itself for the homey feel of
the holiday. Candles burning brightly
on the festive table full of luxurious,
celebratory foods and delicacies.
So many today practice meditation
of different varieties. One thing these
practices have in common . . . candles.
There is something about staring into
the flickering flame of a candle that
somehow contains the answers to all
questions.
And oh, the memories invoked as we
sit around those summer campfires
telling tales out of school. Add in hot
dogs and marshmallows, maybe a
beer or two, and you have the stuff
dreams are made of.
Then comes the devastation of fire
in its destructive mode. The complete
eradication of a town, severe damage
to others, the loss of homes, and people's
entire lives and memories as they knew
them.
Thousands of acres of forests lost to
the ever hungry forest fire devouring
everything in sight. Such sorrow!
Such absolute desolation . . .
Pray, we all do everything in our
power to keep our homes, our towns,
our forests safe! 'Tis a matter of
vast consequence . . .
light a few candles
come sit by the fire with me
joy or havoc reigns
