Flames of the fire are so beautiful, but … untamed fire can also be so destructive. Very sorry to hear of this tragedy while not personally affected, I feel that I could have been there if I were in the area. I mean, it could happen to any of us and our friends. While exercising fire safety, really drawn to fireplaces lately … precisely because the temperatures have dropped. It can get chilly like chattering teeth – COLD outside. Fireplaces, the heath draws us to find the quiet nearby as you feel the flickering …we find the kindling of fire within – so warm. There’s outpouring of love amidst the ashes. Prayers to the victims and their families.

The yogi offers his labyrinthine human longings to a monotheistic bonfire dedicated to the unparalleled. This is indeed the true yogic fire ceremony, in which all past and present desires are fuel consumed by love divine.
