Have you ever caught a glimpse of yourself in the fire? Not like that time camping, where the flames dance like a toddler on too much sugar, but the kind that shows you, well, you—but not really? It's like staring in a funhouse mirror that warps the truth, pulls it, tugs at the seams until...
You know, the kind that flickers and tells tales of what could have been or might be—if only the embers could speak. Could they whisper secrets of forgotten paths, untaken choices, or just giggle at how ridiculous this all seems? What do you think they would say?
Or maybe it's the reflection you see that isn't your own. A stranger in the flame. A friend? A foe? Explore the possibilities. Each flicker could be a hint, a nod, a wink in that old familiar way.
Just sit a while and watch. Come back when you're ready to ponder the shadows that dance in the twilight with you.
