A World on Fire

There are going to be incursions, invasions, military and terrorist strikes, we look to the future, yet nobody can see beyond tomorrow. Earth and ash confirm that there is a spiritual fire in the heart of any battle at the heart of all life and death, The world has always been on fire even without the aid of mankind. What we see as reality are those flames shaping all appearance. If war comes just know, that conflagration is a daisy flower blooming, Combustion is nourishment, it is we that burn up those calories. Feu de joie, lamps and beacons the small flame of a viper, see how the grass it passes though is green with an internal fire? The bonfire is within and without. see this, and you will not be afraid no matter how hot a gun barrel gets.
