Dear Fire,

I love you, fire.  You are so warm and flickery.  I can watch
you for hours.  You make a happy place, where people can gather,
where the dogs and lie and be happy, or where one can sit alone
with a book and listen as you celebrate with the most basic
forces of nature.  You can destroy and desolate - and make ready
for the new.  You close the circle.

Mmm.... fahr!


Fire you also provide a place for reflection.  As you grab my
focus, and hold my gaze, other distractions fade.  Among your
glow and dance I see a mirror - an emotional mirror.  In you I
see lost loves and missed chances.  I see where I've let people
down, or pushed them when it wasn't helpful.  I see how I've
always been old, and patronizing without being a leader.  I see
my own hypocrisy, as I just get done filling a big bucket of
advice for a good friend - only to see myself at the bottom.

Fire, I don't like you any more!
