I read somewhere a long time ago that fire is alive, and that you can talk to it. I know how that sounds; it's silly. Maybe. But I did give it a try, just to see. I'm into experimentation.
Too often when I journal I spiral downward in my thoughts. Yesterday I remembered that article, and sorry I can't cite, it was long ago. So I lit a candle and started talking to it.
I began falteringly, but as I watched the flame, and saw how it danced and flickered as I spoke, I got bolder. Before very many minutes, I was talking to it as I would a friend, with pauses for reflection as you would pause to let a friend get a word in edgewise. It was good, all good. And, my thoughts didn't spiral downward. In fact they went the other way, and I felt listened to, and like my words were being carried into an invisible world "ear."
I have this sort of unease that if I died suddenly someone would read my journals, and be hurt by them. I'm getting rid of them. I don't even know why I have held on to them for so long.
I'm going to stick to this "fire talking" method. Like they say "whatever floats your boat." And isn't that what we want? Not to sink? Sinking bad, floating good.
Just wanted to share here with my gang.
Peace, joy, love and light,
Joella
