The greatest fires that burn within us are those fires that
illuminate our spirit. It is the fire within us that lights our way and
lets us see with our inner vision, the fire that describes our passion
and our desire to create our future in the way we see it.
We have heard the expression that someone has a burning
passion. That passion expresses in romantic relationships, and it also
expresses itself through us when we are doing work that we love, and it
expresses through us when we are engaged in any activity that we love,
whether it is a sport, hobby, a creative activity or things that we just
enjoy doing because they are so much fun. Any of these activities or
relationships that bring us joy stoke the fire in our life.
There are fires for cleansing, fires for inspiration, fires
for cooking, fires for gathering friends. Let us light all of these
fires to purify ourselves, to heat our homes and to inspire our
passions.
We light a candle to add atmosphere to our space. We write on a paper those things we want to eliminate from our life, whether it is a bad habit or goal we are going to let go of, a memory or thought process it is time to put to rest. We give them to the fire, so that as they symbollically go away, and their physical and mental hold on us is gone with the ashes into the fire.
When we expose our selves to heat like in a sauna or a sweat, we release our tensions, pains and fears into mother earth for recycling. As the sweat drips from us, so does the weight of the things we carry.
As we light our homes,the fire chases the cold away. There is nothing like the warmth of a home cooked meal on a cold evening to warm the spirits. Remember that laughter raises vibrations and lights creative fires the same as smiles on the faces of our guests when we are sharing good food, drink, music and the company of those we include in our life.
Our friends gather around all of these fires, and when we are out in the woods, around our campfires where we drum, dance, tell stories and sing. My current residence does not have a fireplace, but candles burning in the living room creates the same kind of ambiance as sitting around a campfire. Since the time of the cave people, we have enjoyed the hypnotic and warming effect of gathering around a fire. When I lived in places where I had a fireplace, I would have it going all fall and winter. Where I live now there is not a fireplace, but keeping candles burning in the living room can create that same kind of ambiance. The vibrations that are raised through laughter, the sharing of food, drink, playing and music are the same experience.

February 14 is Valentine's Day, which is one opportunity to express
our fire. The origin of this day was the ancient Roman festival of
Lupercalia, which was much more rowdy than today's expressions of
sentiment with greeting cards and boxes of chocolates. So do not get
lazy and stale. Think of ways to add the fires of inspiration to your
relationship. The name of the month was Februarius to the Romans, and
that was a month of cleansing, clearing away the debris that we are done
with so that there is room for new growth in the spring. Use the fire
in whatever ways inspire you to clear and renew.
Keep in touch with your inner fire. Keep feeding it fuel so that
life is always fascinating and always inspiring. Focus your vision on
your passions and see how much every aspect of life lights up. Our fire
lights the way that keeps us on our path and illuminates aspects of the
path that we may have been overlooking.
In what ways do you want to change your life so that it becomes more aligned with your vision?
It is always fire that illuminates our life, the fire without and the fire within.
Sometimes it is useful to consult with a mentor to help tend
and feed your fires so that your visions can be brought into focus more
powerfully and then into reality. This is something I help people do. If
you feel that this is something you want to explore, this is a good
time to do it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Our fires
light the way to our future.
