Description
See the smoke?
Everything moves toward God.
Fear not, friend;
There is something to be gained
From every illusion.
Haven Trevino from The Tao of Healing
As you proceed through life,
Following your own path,
Birds will crap on you.
Don't bother to brush it off.
Getting a comedic view
Of your situation
Gives you spiritual distance.
Having a sense of humor saves you.

Thank you Gun! Yes, I agree, which is why I think so many of us are drawn to simply staring into the flames...so calming and healing!

Beautiful Rory. Fire is a great symbol of metamorphosis, think of Phoenix rising from the flames!

Thank you so much Craig! I was just fascinated by how the flames were lighting up the shapes of the needles and branches...as well as the amazing display of sparks that went shooting up skyward!

Many times I have sat staring into the flames, watching it's ever changing performance, never once have I thought to capture the performance for eternity. vf

Thank you so much Joyce! This was the expression of some of those momentous changes I was referring to!

I really appreciate your wonderful comments Karen and for you taking the time to look at some of my work. I find watching a fire very soothing and transformative even at times.
