The Art of Making Fire


He taught us how to make fire,..


two pieces of wood rubbed together,..


falling apart into sawdust,


friction,... some heat generated.


The dust turns dark, then a tiny bit of smoke,


a sure sign something is happening.




He carefully takes the smoking sawdust coal


places it gently in the middle of soft kindling.


Then I watched him with great attention


give his own loving breath


to grow the flame.
