Fire is healing, purifying – fire brings us together.
The fires we keep within ourselves give strength, our passion, our presence and our position, tending eons of interconnection. Our fires are our connection to culture, to self, and to community. The energy to spark warmth to embers, emanates a light that transforms and gives life. Even as it burns, smoke guides our prayers to our ancestors. Without respect or responsibility, fire can become unwieldy and dangerous, but with proper protocol it gives us both light and warmth.
Fire is a portal, a doorway for contemplation and understanding that demands our presence.
