Fire - The Best Teacher

Fire - The Best Teacher

Fire,

the source of light,

the epitome of optimism.

Its aura enthralls even the cold blooded.

Its warmth seduces their senses,

draws sweat,

enlightens their spirits,

sets life running

within the contours of the mortal body.

Fire,

the purest of the pure,

the hallmark of sanctitude.

Its flames can be vitiated

by no worldly desires.

It possesses the strength

to turn egos to ashes,

sparing the bones,

yet it remains modest to the core.

So burn like a raging fire,

and conquer all

with a force so brutal,

that it leaves your rivals

bewitched,

fascinated.

Be ablaze, not with pride and jealousy,

but with acceptance and humility.
