Fire of Connection

 

A warmth that appears between presences

 

Two small candles burning close together in a stone bowl

 

Essence

Connection does not begin with words.

Agreement.
Explanation.

It begins with warmth.

A small fire that appears
when two people remain
without turning away.

It belongs to neither one.

It lives
in the space between.

 

Invitation

Notice what happens
when presence is not rushed.

A pause in conversation.
A quiet recognition.

No fixing.
No persuading.

Simply remaining
long enough
for warmth to appear.

 

Practice

Bring someone gently to mind.

Nothing to resolve.
Nothing to revisit.

Imagine sitting beside them
near a small shared fire.

Take one slow breath.

Let the warmth between you
exist without words.

 

Connection does not demand a spark.

Often it is already there.

Waiting to be tended.
