A dance with flame

Poetry is important, although I'm not very good at it. Some ideas are better said from a poetic angle than they are directly. Which makes this very hard to talk about.

I can discuss the inspiration. I had a two-day .. hrm. I suppose the best word is "visit" from Papa Legba, a Voudoun spirit. Needless to say, this startled me immensely. The more I looked into him and researched him, the more I felt that I'd been focusing too much on the logical end of FlameKeeping.

Religion is inherently illogical. There comes a point when one must simply let go and dance with the Flame.

Sometimes one must just let go. And it's not an easy thing to do. It's not a logical thing to do. But when it comes to faith, that's not something that can be held onto with strong fists or examined by a logical mind. Faith defies logic, defies strength, defies everything that we try to use to examine our lives.

Sometimes, there isn't a clear answer. Sometimes there isn't a logical path. Sometimes one must simply let go and dance.

And when you do, you become whole again.
