Un-titled Fire. Thoughts

For millions of years, fire was a focal point of our life experience and regular activity after sunset and some the early morning routine too. People gathered around it for warmth, protection, conversation, estorytelling, contemplation, dancing, feasting, council, rituals and more. It was the source of light when the world went dark. The flame and its is unpredictable movement, its mesmerizing hold it gives as one gazes into it, and sometimes being the one thing that reminds us of our roots, has been one of the most underrated and most influential thing in forming our behavior today.

For you see, people, we have not lost this behavior at all. It is too engrained into us all from the hundreds of thousands of years of surviving in the wild as tribes as a collective and yes even now as a global civilization.
But what happens to the human experience when we replace something we've contemplated for millennia with something that constantly competes for our attention?

That something, of course, being cell phones. Laptop. Tv screen. Same flickering light, same stimulus package being sent and many other parallels, but with a subtle difference. Unlike the fire, none of these satisfy the soul.

Perhaps humans are still seeking that same fascination they once got from a campfire, even when we no longer recognize what originally inspired that behavior. Maybe more people outta return to the oldd original custom. Maybe this winter, you'll enjoy that fire-place just a little more and honor it with your silence and sacrifice your ego into it.
