When you're tired and cold and weary,

Especially in winter,

Is there any better feeling than arriving home?

Cozying up next to a crackling fireplace and dozing off to sleep.

I'm going to read four quotes about fire.

And after that I will leave you with a fire.

In the dark night of the soul bright flows the river of God.

And in the flames of divine love the soul is purified and made radiant.

The soul,

Like iron,

Is cold and dark until placed in the fire of love.

Then it glows,

It shines and is transformed.

The flame that burns within cannot be extinguished by the winds of the world.

It is the fire of the Tao,

Eternal and serene.

The soul is a spark of the divine flame.

And when kindled with longing it becomes a fire that lights the path back to the infinite.
