ON THIS DAY, 790,000 YEARS AGO...

This morning's news included the newsworthy fact that 'On this day 790,000 years ago, man discovered FIRE.' My eyes wandered to the fireplace in the room that I took for granted all summer... FIRE, burned into my memory, emerged as a campfire of images...from birthday candles and roasting marshmallows to the smell of fear & wildfires that charged through mountain regions of places I'd lived---Southern California, South Africa and Colorado... ancient memories, somehow preserved, of black kettles over flames that fed thousands for centuries, sounds of welders and blacksmiths...the images spiraled to the dawn of Creation, flames of fire, forever striking the surface (chronos) of our existence and the depth (kairos) of our being...the firing of Light that sparks Soulfulness...that carries kindling from heart to heart,

like birds gathering twigs for a nest... a place to rest

our work... and let ourselves, oursouls

BE... hatching our way to heaven, broadening our wingspan...f-Light transforms our path...

In crossing, kindred spirits ignite the woodburning elements of an absolute LOVE

that transpires in our hearts and transforms lives...

May the gift of FIRE ignite the heart of your work, today, and may the Light illumine the way for all who cross your path, journeying HOME...
