There's something about fire that moves humanity.

The crackle, the flicker, the scent of smoke and wood, the glowing warmth that caresses away chills. It's hypnotic, and on such a primal level that we don't always notice it.

Staring into a fire, just in the moment is meditative. Your mind can either roam free, or empty itself out to let you float in the now.
