Description
You see, when turning a new leaf, you can attempt to release everything upon the fire. However, in this attempt, it is easy to identify as the fire itself as a defense mechanism. This is the ego, the self, attempting to preserve itself. This is a mask. As the burn consumes the flower, you will be given an opportunity. Should this be your choice, you can remain within the fire. You can become the fire. It is not wrong to be the fire, however to stand still anywhere can become a hinderance. I hope that you may experience the fire, and then I hope you may burn through, become the ash, and become nothing. For if you are to truly embrace a new beginning, you must first be nothing.
