The Wildfire Approach

"Foresters often “prescribe” fire to dispose of accumulated debris, enrich the soil by speeding nutrient recycling or retard the growth of shrubs or grasses that would otherwise crowd out recently planted seedlings."

A Wildfire is nature's way of cleansing itself of all the dry skin that keeps itself from growing fresh. In my life, I think I need to simply strike a match and burn, so that I can be reborn and reinvented. However, I can't simply set myself on fire, but I can begin to remove the old bark from my life in order to allow a new genesis to occur. The more I look at my past and present, I come to the conclusion that its time for a wildfire approach. It's not about removing people or items from my life, its simply about allowing new elements into my life. I spend a lot of time analyzing my life and currently I'm fixated on why things didn't grow during the past 6 yrs of my life. Yes, I had goals, but none of them came to fruition.

Often times, I think deep down I really held onto tight to things and didn't let things go when I should have. And those elements simply blocked the passage of new and exciting adventures into my life. Wildfires can cause great change for a forest and produce new life, while ending the life of others such as animals, planets, and changing the air quality. But no one ever said that change was meant to be pretty, sometimes it has to be messy, disorganized, and ugly.

2012 has to become more, but I'm not very happy with my life right now. I feel as though I'm being tormented and punished on a daily basis. Emotionally I'm simply losing the ability to hold onto the positivity that has been in my life. And maybe I should just let the darkness eat me upon so that it can be like a wildfire. Not saying that being in the darkness is bad, it just depends on how you come out of that darkness. Do you come out more jaded, or do you come out with new life and a new purpose. I guess it depends solely on how long the wildfire goes on until it burns itself out. But as I said at the top, wildfires are simply a way for nature to cleanse itself, and I'm still very much a part of nature.

LET IT BURN... LET IT BURN... LET IT BURN.
