Touch the Fire. Feel its heat. See the eager intensity with which it devours life. Fire will teach you that it is not enough merely to exist, but that all meanings and values are found in the personal commitment to excellence. Not even blood is too high a price to pay for glory.

Fire is heat and light, survival and security, penetrating insight. Fire can also be a withering force, burning away the guilty and the innocent, the useful and the useless, without regard for either. Knowledge of its potential danger should dictate its use and when harnessed, it is a willing and useful servant.
