Fire Meditation
n the winter I have a morning meditation. It starts in October and ends in April. It is one I have to do in the morning whether I like it or not, more to the case whether I want to be warm or not. Before morning tea or toast with sleep still in my eyes I must create fire.
It's a simple and essential art to bring flame to hearth, to make the wood stove roar and the house warm. There is little thought that goes into it, the movements are the same for 180 days but as in all art forms so much relies on attention to detail. The right paper, the right size kindling, the right placement and right level of oxygen all subject to the most important ingredient - the right amount of patience.
