Love is not a forest fire that burns intensely, hotly and out of control for a brief moment until, its expendable fuel spent, it sputters, seeking in vain for something else to consume, to sustain itself before, finally, it dies:cold, black ash the only evidence of its passing. Love is, instead, a campfire:it provides ample heat and comfortto the twosome who sit before it, and although its flames may at times wane, a well-tended campfire’s embers can be nurtured and fanneduntil the flames once again dance brightly and cheerfully, providing comfort to the couple who cherish the gentle warmth it ministers.
