Wow! In the midst of cold winter temps and piles of blizzard snow, the power of fire is warming.  Even in the memory of a summer chiminea, warmth rises from the inside now.  How is it that we humans can experience such extremes?  Is it to know the contrast and appreciation of whatever is present?  Today I am grateful for the mounds of snow, cozy boots, a warm furnace and plenty of imagination for feeding the belly of creative fire.
