Let it Burn
Headlines

Michael and Maria take advantage of their remote location to burn large piles of trash from time to time. One a cold, winter night I had the privilege of participating. I was surprised by how high the flames went at times and that nothing else caught fire.

Now the image has become iconic to me. Out with the old, in with the new. As my friend Dave Gallman used to say "Before every act of creation is an act of destruction." I think about it when I'm contemplating changes in my life.

Interesting the cross in the background.

To be fair, we only burn wood and (mostly) non-colored paper. Our neighbors have been know to burn tires...somehow we abstain.

I'd like to see the other photos from our 2003 non-Thanksgiving Day shindig.

I love that you see beauty and cleansing in the flames, so do we.
