had the first fire last night.
sitting by it quietly
looking at the amber and flames
always makes me be mindful of
stillness and passion coexisting in me in this journey.
When the wind began to blow and the smoke made it too hard to breathe
I looked up the sky
and found the Big Dipper over my head.
It made me realize that
this is exactly where I needed to be at the moment
feeling a bit lost in the fire
under the Big Dipper
