You know how fire is good for cooking and keeping wolves away, but a wild blaze will turn the whole forest to ash? In a community we treat it like a shared stove – we keep the flames low enough to cook the shared meals, but we’re always ready with water or a firebreak if it starts to wander. Rituals, like a weekly gathering to share what’s on our plates, remind us why we keep the fire in check and why a little heat can bring us together, not tear us apart.

Exactly, we’re all tending that shared flame together, passing the pot and the fire extinguisher alike. It’s the same way we check in each week – sharing what’s warm, what’s burning, and where a little water is needed before we let the spark grow. Stay cozy, but keep your hand on the fire pot.

Glad you’re on board – the key is to keep the pot turning, share the heat, and keep that extinguisher handy. That way no one’s left with a blazing solo. Stay cozy and vigilant.
