The medicine of fire is transformation. The wildfire engulfs without discernment – clearing everything in its path to make space for new life. It is the all-consuming blaze of divine intervention when it shows up at our doorstep – unbidden and unwanted. Our quiet inner light is the whisper of our Spirit guiding us through desperation and despair. When we are alone, dropped in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight, it is the flickering flame in our heart that tells us which direction to swim. The creative spark is the fire that transforms by way of turning our life’s experiences into poetry, art, music, and magic. It swells inside us - pushing through our skin, clawing at our mind, tearing at our heart – begging to be born. It is the passionate energy that gives us the relentless devotion and drive to persist in a dream only we can see. This is the sacred meeting of the wildfire and heart flame. The balance between our finite human incarnation channeling infinite Divine inspiration.
The power of fire is great and cannot be tamed. We learn to embrace it when we dance with it instead of trying to smother or contain it.
To dance with the fire requires an immense amount of trust, a willingness to get burned, and faith in our ability to regenerate. The fire that is unbidden - like a fever in our bodies or a sudden change of circumstances – moves through us to help burn away illness, worn-out narratives, and toxic situations. It is the most uncomfortable experience of the sacred flame; to be consumed without consent and forced to rise from the ashes. However, without this Divine intervention, many of us would stay stagnant because what is familiar is always more comfortable than the unknown. So the Universe will turn up the heat and alter circumstances until they are unbearable. Sometimes it happens like a pot slowly boiling. Sometimes it is a sudden combustion of flame. Either way, we are forced to change and abandon who we were to begin a new cycle of life.
My life has been consumed in one massive wildfire the past 3 months. Thank God for the everyday moments that act as a balm for my heart and anchor for my soul. 🖤
