What a striking analogy for rediscovering our survival skills, sparking our passion, and cultivating resilience amidst adversity, Tess! I have frequently revisited (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/my-one-year-substack-anniversary) this Charles Dickens quote while reflecting on my experience over the past three years:
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
I feel the worst of times has brought out the best in us, and it is an honor to collaborate with you and our fellow fire-makers as we attempt to rebuild from the ashes. Thank you for lighting the way, Tess 🔥

This is a wonderful reminder to tend the inner spiritual flame with devotion. My wife turns 50 tomorrow, and I just wrote her a rather long card expressing among other things, a similar call for us both to devote attention to the wisdom that lies within. There is inexhaustible loving power there. I recently thought to myself, "well, after many months of looking into this, leading to harrowing revelations, no doubt remains about the plot formed by these psychopaths. My job now is to merge ever more fully with the Divine and fearlessly live my life in the name of Truth, come what may".

From a northern Canadian.
Using cotton swabs and a container of Vaseline. Dip/drag a few cotton balls in vaseline place in close proximity and under your wigwam, light cotton balls. Clean/dry fingers prior to lighting the match.

(So spot on, Tess, regarding the marathon scenario) This inspirational post is something I needed to hear / grist I need to put into my mill. Thank you Tess for your wisdom and indomitable spirit and positive energy vibration.
Thank you - again! A spiritual marathon that requires daily practice indeed! I wonder if you realize how many people you have given a dose of healing to with your words since you've started writing.
I would like to share with you a little exercise that I do mostly every day with my heart.
Our heart is our most powerfull tool.
1- Seat down comfortably with your back straight.
2- Go to your heart and see and feel a little flame.
3- Move that flame energy around your body where you need healing or support.
4 - Do that five minutes few times a day if you can.
5- After the five minutes, you may stand up and takes few minutes to send your light from your heart around.
You may also send that light where you expect to go later during the day. You will be surprised of the result. The vibration coming from your heart is unlimited. You may use the same technique to heal your heart... with your heart!
I like the term, spiritual marathon. Actually, it's best when I'm living in tune with what I call "my cosmic connection," - no running, no marathon. For so many, the ongoing efforts take us for loo lang stretches away from that. Yes, so important to make and live with our inner fire.
This was lovely to read. Fed my fire!! Thank you for posting this encouragement. I feel the "marathon", and I know it is worth it and that Truth will prevail. Thank you for being a bearer of Truth and Integrity as it helps all of us to see this and to feel the "heat" of it! God Bless.
I have always loved my wood stoves which, for years at a time, I have used as a sole source of heat in the cold winter north. I have always built my fires as you describe. Now I see, here and there from people on youtube, there may be a better way. Imagine that.
So when I am next back living with my friend "wood stove", I will try putting my logs down first, then some "splits", then the kindling pile. The theory being that, as the wood gases are a major part of the fuel value of wood and wood gases ignite and burn best when passing through coals and flame, it makes sense for the kindling pile on top to start the flame and make small coals which heat up the splits below enough to start the release of their wood gasses which burn well as their gases pass through the kindling fire coals and flame. Then so the splits for the logs.
As we, here and there, share the many pieces of the better way humanity's clean burning fire will ignite the coming Golden Age.
Fantastic! We are lighting fires these nights as well, although I admit I’m spoiled to live in a temperate climate. Beautiful analogy to use for lighting the fire for our spiritual marathon!!
This is inspiring Tess. Heather Heying gave a talk about infra-red light, which we need, which usually reflects off the leaves, but now the leaves are gone and the trees are lovely in silhouette at dusk, but they don't reflect infra-red again until spring, however fires give off infra-red light, according to Heather!
Excellent analogy. Quick comment on the use of a fire place to circumvent higher energy costs. If your fire place does not have a combustion air vent (allows the fire to consume air from outside), then the fire may have a counter-productive effect overall in your home. If combustion air is drawn from the room, versus a vent, that air will be drawn up through flue/chimney after combustion cause a small pressure drop in the house. This pressure drop will draw outside air into the house usually through fenestration pathways (leakage around windows and doors). This will make your home drafty and colder overall, especially remote rooms that are not connected to the room containing the fireplace.

I just want to add that I have enormous respect and appreciation of you Dr Tess. You are a fearless truth warrior. Sending love from both of us.

All Sides of the fire triangle are equally important. Fuel, Heat & Air. Focus on the heat.
Wood does not burn, it's the flammable gas it gives off when it heated that ignites.
I enjoy your stories.
A better way,

"Marathon" is exactly it.

Beautifully written and a wonderful reminder. Thank you Tess
