Campfire Community

I am the center of attention.
A circle of entranced people stare into my bright eyes.
I often bring people together, similar to a thread that binds separate strings of fabric together.
My embers radiate into the faces of my spectators.
I am a campfire.
Come feel my warmth.

Amidst the Heat

"[Fire's] real beauty is that it destroys responsibility and consequences.  A problem gets too burdensome, then into the furnace with it.  Now, Montag, you're a burden.  And fire will lift you off my shoulders, clean, quick, sure; nothing to rot later." -Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451.
