For the love burning in the fire. About forest fires
Maybe all of you young ones are a little tired of my saying words of comfort to you when you are burning in your painful fires of lost love; my words that point out good that can come from pain. You probably don't want to hear them while you are suffering.
This world is pretty well ordered. Things usually happen as they should, even when we can't see the reasons. We humans are part of this orderly world, and our life patterns and drives have their necessary reasons. You can depend on this. Flow with your life. Contemplate your experiences and see what you can learn.
I live in a land of forest fires. Fires are scary, very dangerous and dramatic. They are also necessary and cleansing. Forests that have not been burnt over for a long time get into trouble. If lightning doesn't start natural fires, then often "controlled burns" have to be set by human beings to cleanse and renew the forest. These burns remove diseased plants and disease causing organisms. They open the forest floor up to light. They allow new plants to grow so the forest is renewed and there is fresh food for forest animals. There is even one important giant forest tree species that can only open its pods and sow its seeds after they have been singed by fire.
You are young. You are passionate. You are dramatic. This is all good. Pain is dramatic. You want to experience life. You feel extremely deeply, perhaps for the first time. This is good.
The love that burned in the fire will bring rewards that you can't see yet. You will be able to see more clearly in future. It is all experience that can make you deeper and wiser. Have you heard of "fool's gold?" In the future you will more easily recognize true gold from "fools' gold."
