Fire and Water




Have you ever watched a flame of a candle and used it to guide your thoughts?




Have you ever watched a pool of water in the rain?




The beauty of doing this is that you will never see the same thing twice. The water will ripple in ever expanding circles that look perfectly circular, the flame will dance in the breeze (even if you think there is none). These things are completely their own and yet can be altered by the simplest of input from the outside world.




It just goes to show that the smallest things, almost insignificant even, can affect a truely devestating force. Let's not forget floods and arson. Where we can use these 2 items for quiet reflection and peaceful times, a simple gust of wind can cause forest fires. Yes, water can be used to quell this beast but, what is there to stop the water?
