“Desire is a flame. Left unchecked, it burns your house down. Tended carefully, it just toasts marshmallows.”
Desire is neither enemy nor saviour. Like fire, it will consume everything if ignored, yet warm and sweeten life if watched. The danger isn’t in the flame itself, but in our willingness to let it run wild.
Inferno vs. Hearth
Unfed, fire dies. Uncontrolled, it destroys. But under careful tending, it becomes light, heat, and laughter around a stick with something sweet on the end.
The Lesson in Desire
Desire must be tended, not suppressed. Burning it out leaves ashes; ignoring its heat invites disaster. The art is in turning wildfire into campfire — enough to warm, never enough to scorch.
Practical Guidance
Feed, don’t flood: Give your desires attention, not domination.
Contain the flame: Keep boundaries strong around what burns hot.
Savor the sweetness: Let your passion toast marshmallows, not walls.
Today’s Practice
Today, tend your fire — and make it a feast, not a funeral.
