Burning Embers
Like a living thing
Pulsing light, shifting, moving
Radiating warmth
Ken Goree
I was just sitting around a small bon fire with friends. I realized how the warmth of the embers and the flickering shifting arrange and yellow glow of the coals weaves a closeness between people. I usually feel the need to keep conversations going when there is group of people together; silence feels awkward. Around a fire, that changes. Silently watching the dance of light within a camp fire, or even a fireplace fire is not taboo. It is like a shared meditation.
