Let it Burn

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.
