Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
He set the world aflame,
And laid me on the same;
A hundred tongues of fire
Lapped round my pyre.
And when the blazing tide
Engulfed me, and I sighed,
Upon my mouth in haste
His hand He placed.
Rumi
When I think of romantic love, I think of fire.
Love is fire that takes on its own life as
in an uncontrollable wildfire.
It is all-consuming . . . and isn't that wonderful?
The fire of love can make us move the proverbial mountain.
Awesome chemistry between two people that is as a wildfire
is also as gentle as a peaceful breeze.
It is everything good that life has to offer.
