FIRE

this passion
burning deep within
consumes the trash heaped upon it
returning to dust and ashes
underbrush, dead branches,


life's longing for tomorrow
fueled by yesterday's adventure
this fire of love and forgiveness
burning everything
that stands in the way
creating space for the new
transforming life into life

(photos taken by jules while burning the brush pile at my mother in law's house)

a simple formula

just give me a couple hours
a cup of tea
a friend with true heart
and a gentle ear
then i'll feel like the richest,
most successful, most serene
and i'll be the best me in the world
