FIRE On a sunny day, go outside at noon and press your receptive hand against a warm rock. Smell the smoke from a burning fire. Gaze into a candle's flame. Immerse yourself in fire energy, and realize that it also exists within ourselves. Fire must be controlled to be of benefit to us. When we light a candle, we call upon it's powers - but also limit them. This is necessary if it's physical forms are to be of use. But even a raging forest fire actually helps the Earth, cleansing away underbrush and encouraging dormant seeds to burst into new life. |
