During my recent ramblings, I've made the happy discovery that forest fire roasts Douglas-fir cones a bright, fluorescent orange. It's almost as though the cone - four months later - still contains the original flames, which come bursting out vigorously from the center. For me, this serves as a reminder that the human body - through the numerous plants we ingest - contains the fire of the Sun, so effective in driving the photosynthesis upon which all of life depends. That fact makes each of us a miniature, burning Sun!
