Fire of Birth

fiercely burning fire setting the outback ablaze devastating all the thunder of hoofs as desperate animals flee birds overhead fleeing the greedy flames, that devour all they met leaving charred remains of those too weak, sick or even just too slow why you ask? Well my child sometimes you need to burn out the dead and useless so new life can come to be. A fresh start with verdant green new growth springing up everywhere leading to new birth of animals. The old now gone and forgotten if only life were as easy. fire of purity cleansing and reaffirming from death comes new birth

In 2003 in kelowna we had a huge fire and it is intresting to see how nature is reclaiming the scorched land.
