When we experience loss, there is fire. A consumptive process that reduces all we were before the raging fire came.The burn marks show in our being, alongside the beauty of the refined gold of our being, that is now visible to all. What we may also notice, is that there are pockets of our being where the rim, or residue of ash is caught, and hangs on longer than other areas. These fragments of the journey remind us of where we have come from
