I feel BETTER!!!!!!

To quote Mad Mortigan from Willow....and excellent movie.

The Phoenix rises again......it has weathered the storm, it has found it self on board of the the Deck of the mighty ship Maiden's Grace, while the seas are not all calm, there is faith in the vessel to be sturdy enough to ride out the worst.

Fire.

Once a man found a flame sitting by a brook,
Hello little flame the man asked
Hello said the flame, pleased at finding company
Why do you sit here by the brook the man inquired
Because this is where many people come to drink

The man thought this odd, so he asked the flame
are you lonely little flame
with that the flame replied, I am good sir,
I had burned so bright and so fast
that I scared others and now I am here alone.

The man was nervous of the flame,
for it carried in its soul the same troubles he carried.
So he thought for a moment and then asked?
What is it I can do for you flame?

The Flame replied, will you give me fuel so I stay lit?
The man answered, I will keep you from burning out
The Flame continued, will you honor my light?
The man answered, I will make a place safe for you to shine
The Flame continued, will you help protect me from the water and the wind?
The man answered, I will build strong walls to block the wind, and sure floors to tame the waves
The Flame continued, will you respect my space and not smother me?
The man answered, I will give you a special place within my house for you and you alone
The Flame continued, will you be gentle with my touch, as it is known to burn
The man answered, I will respect your touch for all its warmth, I will never fear your burn

With that the Flame lept into the arms of the man, who carried it back to his house
where together they found that they both gained much from the other, Together the man's home was
Brighter, Warmer, and Happier.

The day a man helped a flame make a Fire and the Fire made the man a Home
