Fire is a powerful alchemist. In the wild, controlled forest burns help release trapped nutrients in seeds, nourishing the soil through ashes of burned compost. Something seemingly so destructive can ultimately lead to new growth and strength. Many trees have an incredible resistance to fire, even benefiting from it. Returning to a post pandemic world does not have to mean returning to normal, but rather yielding to the ashes of former realities and having the courage to tap into the seeds released in the fire, rising as a phoenix. What is your life calling you to create after the pandemic? This is a question I invite you to consider, and nature might have some guidance for us.
