I am the firekeeper in my family. It is a sacred trust. It involves one of the primal needs, warmth. It also meets a greater need, serenity. Serenity, living in an atmosphere ripe with peace and calm, is a rare commodity today. Most often, it is found through nature; mountains, forests, streams, and oceans come to mind. But fire can also create it. What is fire? Scientifically, it is stored energy being released. I think of it as a Divine gift of pleasure and love. This is why I have dedicated a great portion of my adult life to being a master fire tender, a keeper of fire; to ensure those of mine can always draw near and be exquisitely comforted by the Divine gift of fire's release of warmth and…serenity.
