You are sitting on a stump shortly after sunset watching the smoke float majestically towards the sky as the flames tips lick the air. You find your body slowly relaxing as you are mesmerised by the flames dancing with each other, and feel the warmth emanate and envelope you making your comfort with nature more enjoyable. After a few moments you are disturbed by the thought that you need to satisfy your hunger, so you move from your comfortable position to find food to grill over the open flames. As you are cooking your vegetable and meat over the heat and flames, while enjoying the intoxicating aromas, you marvel at your ancestors for discovering fire entirely by accident when a piece of flint was hit against another piece, yet you also thank them for this discovery as it adds new elements and flavours to your daily sustenance. After enjoying your meal the night would not be complete with having a smore over the coals of the ever decreasing fire before you go off to sleep.
While on your drive home you see smoke rising in the distance, and as you move closer to it you are aware that a forest fire is happening. This fire is destroying everything in its path and is difficult to control due to strong winds, and is increasingly moving towards houses and a nature reserve. As you proceed past it you hope that the wind changes as you don`t want any people or animal harmed and are aware after the fire burns out, the earth will rejuvenate itself to be more brilliant than it ever was, and look forward to seeing this.
