Fire. There's something in the back of our lizard brain that tells us to be afraid of it. It can be devastating. It can destroy without any malice at all. Most of us know enough to use it as a tool and otherwise leave it well enough alone.

But there are others. You know the ones. The ones who are drawn to fire, to understand it, to tame it. These people know full well the pain fire can cause, but they also know its beauty.

This week is fire week. Welcome and enjoy the beauty.
