The fire is the Spirit of God alive within me, “luminously glowing,” keeping the “house” of my life warm and vibrant.
To keep a fire going, you must pay attention to it, tend it, stoke it. If you forget about it, it will go out, and if the ashes get cold, it will need to be completely restarted, which is not an efficient use of energy. and meanwhile the house gets cold.
Be always mindful of holding the light of Christ, of God, within you.
