"The time has come to turn your heart
into a temple of fire.
Your essence is gold hidden in dust.
To reveal its splendor
you need to burn in the fire of love."

Hiking last week through the Fern Lake Burn - which occurred just two years ago - I found myself spellbound by the contrast provided by blackened trunks and colorful autumn aspen growth. Fires always stimulate the underground roots - or "suckers," - of aspen trees to send out fresh shoots into the newly-sun-filled landscape that is so favorable to their growth Without fires or other natural disturbances, aspen would never be able to survive!
