"The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled." -
Plutarch
Building a fire and keeping it contained but active requires patience and alertness. Just as a fire being lit in your soul, if you take the time to feed it with kindling it'll gain heat and burn brightly.
This painting is the evidence of kindling. It's the tinder that starts your heart-fire. It's a stimulating book that you read or an inspiring class that you take that sparks a fire in your heart. It's those motivational speeches or long nature walks that grow those flames higher.
How are you going to start a fire in your soul? What will you use as kindling?
