Fire is life. This is a phrase that is used so much to the point where it is almost a cliche. But what does it actually mean? Taken literally this phrase makes sense. Fire is used to decontaminate water, cook food, and provide warmth. All there of which are essential to sustain one's life. We need clean water, food, and warmth/shelter if we want in order to survive. "Fire is Life" also has a figurative/spiritual meaning to it. Lately my fire has been out. My fire for everything really, not just spiritual. My fire for, not only God but, my fire to overcome my struggles, my fire to maintain/strengthen my close friendships, my fire to clean my room (!), they've all been out lately. There's this vision that just came into my head that can illustrate what I'm going through. A person is holding a lit candle. There's always wind blowing the flame but it never goes out because the person's hand is covering it. However the person keeps getting distracted and he drops they drop their hand. The flame goes out. My life's been so distracted that I haven't been giving time to those things that should have priority in my life. Every time I go to light the candle that is my life/spirit the wind just knocks it right out. My hand is never there. It's funny because as I'm writing this I keep getting new images and answers from God. I got that even though my hand my not be there, His will always be there. I just have to find faith in myself that the flame won't go out this time. It has gone out so much that I've come to expect the flame to die as soon as i lit the candle. But the things that I've witnessed this week are examples of how its important for me to continue to have faith in every thing that I do. I have to light the flame. Wow. Honestly the only real thing that I've kind of been on fire for is dance. I talked about my love for dance before but I have to talk about it again. How can I say this? Hmmmm....I FREAKING LOVE IT! It's such a blessing in my life. Recently I've decided to take my dancing a little further. Krump. This is the equivalent to fire, speaking of fire. The passion one must have is astronomical. I respect everything about this style of dance. It's the personification of how I want to live my life. All things happen for a reason, right? So the fact that joining a fam and learning how to krump at this moment in my life has to be from God. The time in my life when I feel my flame has gone out, just happens to be the same time I join a fam? Wow. Haha. God's a funny dude. I look forward to the fire to come back. If you ask me, I'm ready.
