I stare, stare into the flames. Mesmerized. I hear the sound of creation. The snap, crackle, pop of creation. I see embers flying like burning stars spinning in infinity. I see time, present and past, while contemplating future time. Itβs all in the flames. Parsing existence. Turning it over, teasing it out. So much to contemplate. Making sense, trying to make sense. Impossible. Impossible, to know, impossible to understand creations meaning, its raison d'etre. Futile, no way of knowing. I stare into the flames. Mesmerized!
