The Allure of Fire

I don't know about you, but I love fire.

It's magnetic allure, it's mystical draw, it's magestic, awesome power...somehow, they seem to surpass time adn space. There's nothing quite like sitting in comfortable quiet near a raging fire on a starlit evening, and being alone with your thoughts...or with no thoughts at all.

Staring at the burning embers, watching the lights put on a fantastic display. Wondering why it's so captivating. Looking around at our companions (or lack thereof) and seeing the same wonder and distant looks on their faces as well. Looking up at the night sky and wondering if there really is intelligent life out there.

Feeling the warm glow on your face and hands, while your backside feels the chill of hte damp night air.

Yeah, few feelings can compare to this. In some ways, a fire enjoyed in this manner can surpass the benefits of a one-hour massage or even an intense journaling session.

Fire has mesmerized human beings since it's first discovery, and adults adn children alike continue to be drawn into it's colorful splendor.

I love fire.

When is the last time you enjoyed a campfire? Whether it's outdoors or in your own fireplace, a fire can calm your soul and smooth the edges of a rough day like no food or spirit can. Chimineas and fire pits have made it safer and easier than ever to enjoy a good, safe fire in the comfort of your own backyard. And the effects are ever so calming...we successful people deserve some come respite, don't we?

So your question of the day is this:
Where does your mind go when you get lost in the burning embers of a good fire? Do you dream impossible dreams? Do you wallow in regret? What can you take away from your last great fireside experience and how can you use it to enhance your life?
