Equ...Fire is the full moon--<br />Energy at its highest.<br />Equilibrium.<br />The Hindi culture views fire as an essential element but too much is destructive and not enough is inadequate. I guess everyone would agree to that. Fire is the starting point of kundalini yoga. I love your haiku of a soothing, warming fire and the Native American concept of burning a bit of wood to release the spirits in nature along out way. It seems in every cutlture, there is a healing aspect to fire. Your image and haiku are very gentle and calming.Margaret Pangerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995968579194433270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-41844738168634743462011-03-26T00:52:28.918-07:002011-03-26T00:52:28.918-07:00This is a very beautiful post, I pray for healing ...This is a very beautiful post, I pray for healing and peace for all whose lives have been damaged and hurt around the world. <br />I like it that the spirit of people are in each tree and branch.Marilyn & Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851884880790561276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-41376147619501649372011-03-25T22:44:01.303-07:002011-03-25T22:44:01.303-07:00This is so beautifully written and heartfelt.

Fire is a holy thing. I find it interesting that wood is considered a holy thing as well because it grows in soil which is formed from the blood and bones of men and women. The cross then is an archetype for that level of holiness and it is often called a "tree". It was a place of great suffering and people wear it now to remember the love that gave reason for that suffering. I say these things because we are talking about the suffering of all humanity, and the human compassion that is born of that suffering. A fire for the community is what is needed, yes. A fire either physical or a fire in the heart that draws the soul to action, to reaching out, soul-to-soul, knowing that it could be you tomorrow, who had no water and no food, or lived with the threat of nuclear holocaust. We are all one family, and we must light a candle in our heart of hearts for those members who need us now. Thank you Joe. You are a beautiful person.<br />Love,<br />NoelleNoelle Clearwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879264907115107737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-65765017112087546162011-03-25T20:21:53.066-07:002011-03-25T20:21:53.066-07:00Light is a comfort and warmth in a dark place.Light is a comfort and warmth in a dark place.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818795902981871173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-12093261769343392472011-03-25T14:50:08.094-07:002011-03-25T14:50:08.094-07:00Wow.....you shared all that so beautifully.

There are a few candles lit during the Christmas season but it seems out of place. I do think that there is something very elemental and symbolic and spiritual about fire. Every child is drawn to a bonfire. The spirit is calmed and the heart is opened. Perhaps our world leaders need to sit around a camp fire to discuss matters rather than boardroom tables. I'll bet there would be very different policies made.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-6866315689614563462011-03-25T07:08:22.432-07:002011-03-25T07:08:22.432-07:00There has been a lot of candle burning here.
