A good mediation on fire can be found here: Fire and focus – Austin Kleon.
It can be hard to think about fire as a positive thing if you have been focused on the wild fires in Los Angeles. But it can be, and that comes across in what Kleon writes about it. It reminded me of growing up and the times my father would have a fire pit in the backyard, and we would spend hours around it, tending it, talking, watching it. It also made me think of times later on when I had a house with a fireplace and I’d love the meditative and contemplative aspect of it.
Fire can be a great thing. Read Kleon and see.
