Fire Struck

Lava, although intensely hot, is beneath me; it does not define me.  Neither does a matchstick.  I can be useful or I can be destructive.  Lots of that depends on you.

I am Fire.  You often hear about me when homes and forests are being destroyed.  They say I’m “raging.”  Am I?  I am so fast at traveling that firefighters can’t keep up sometimes.  People and animals run as quickly as possible, but they can’t take their homes with them.

Does that make me, Fire, bad?  Was the “raging” fire started by a human?  Or by lightning?  Who is at fault?

Yet I have a purpose.  From eons ago when humans “discovered” me, I have been cooking your food, keeping you warm.  I’m also simply fascinating to look at, especially in a fireplace.  

Fire.  I am so powerful.  I am so fascinating.  Apparently I sound arrogant as well!  But I know my limits.  You do too.  You can make choices to have me be harmful or helpful, up to a limit.  You know me.  How about respecting me?

One Drop of Water

I am but one drop of water.

You might see me on a leaf, reflecting the light of the sun, enhancing green beauty.  You may see me on a windowsill, an amazing shape frozen onto your pane.

I am but one drop of water.  Sometimes I am left at the bottom of a bottle, and tossed away in the garbage.  Precious, precious drop of water that I am.

Sometimes I am the drop on the cat’s nose, giving away its silly little antics of having sipped the drip from the faucet.

I am but one drop of water, sometimes surrounded by many other drops, as we come falling down from the clouds.  My, the rush of it all!

You see me sometimes on a counter or table, then erase me.  Where did I go?

I am but one drop of water, a part of a stream, a lake, a river, an ocean.  All creatures thirst for me, some fight over me, some try to own me, even sell me.  I am worth everything.  I am part of life itself.

I am but one drop of water.  You might see me on your cheek, having slipped from your eye, after you felt pain.  I am here to help you live life, both in joy and in suffering.  Please share me with others.
