O Mystery, You are life.I feel you all around You are the fire in my heart, You are the holy sound. You are all of life.It is to You I sing. Grant that I may feel You, always in every thing.
Fire is an intimate force. Whereas light is very heartening, it remains quite superficial. It touches only the surface of things. ...Fire, on the other hand, has the power to penetrate to the very essence of substance. Fire can go to the heart of the matter.
~ John O'Donohue in FOUR ELEMENTS: REFLECTIONS ON NATURE
