Fire...
We finally have a fire pit — donated by my brother-in-law. With winter arriving, it is timely and comforting to have one to use.
We already spent two nights sitting around the fire and enjoying the warmth it emanates. The joy of warming our hands and faces as we look up to the clear or sometimes cloudy skies is so simple and often unnoticed.
On the other hand, wild fire has also destroyed and killed life. We were recently witnesses to devastation caused by the bushfires. And obviously, it didn’t go unnoticed.
I can’t help but be amazed and be bewildered by the consistent ironies in nature. The same elements that provide us sustenance and allow us to survive are also the same elements that can and will destroy us.
So as our family continue to light up the fire in our fire pit this winter, we shall remain grateful for its power in our lives.
