Is is time to go?
When the fire burns out, how do we change? I find myself without time to write: without the desire to share my thoughts with the world. The fire that raged for several years has now gone cold.
I have not gone cold. My personal life is very hot.
The fires raging in the countries speaking Arabic are not spontaneous combustion but the result of the entire span of human conflict. Madison reflects the falling standards of a people long accustomed to being on top. Every century, every dynasty brings changes. Fire destroys and renews.
In Florida, spring fires are the essential element to protecting the very essence of life. Without fire, the rains don’t fall. Without rain, the aquifers dry up.
The Ogallala Aquifer is the result of millennium of fire across vast prairies. Then came the Dust Bowl.
Fire is more than simply a chemical reaction of oxygen and carbon. Fire is Life. More than water, more than food, without fire human beings would not have conquered the natural world.
Perhaps it is time for me to go. Five years ago a fire was reignited in my soul. I chose to change.
The world changed too.
Farewell my friends. The fire is calling me away.
Truth Is Freedom.

Wow, so true and accessible…loved your observation ‘not spontaneous combustion but the result of the entire span of human conflict’.
I took a year long break from writing last year for the above reasons and more, and came back this year feeling renenergized and ready to tell tales again. Perhaps that would also be true for you.

the whole wide world, and us in it, is constantly changing – for good or bad nothing lasts for ever – even blogging
Farewell friend writer and thinker,
may the road be good to you
and you be good
for the road
it was a pleasure
and will be again
if you choose to return
Energy and fire never dies..only changes into something else (something better..something brighter)..Jae
Roger that! I agree with this post. We must remain a bit unsettled. So much so that we keep moving ahead.
I’m amazed that the world and its turnings depends on the transfer of energy, often from one state to another. It’s hard to believe that a forest fire can ravage a space, only for that space to appear the next year and the year after that one bud or bloom at a time.
The only thing constant in life is change.
Your writings touched and changed many lives. You made us think. You inspired creative thinking. You painted the world. You made us smile. You made us cry. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
New chapters, new paths, new fires…
Good luck and best wishes to you, Brian.
I’ll miss you but understand the need to go with the change.
Wishing you much joy & peace, Brian
