The Fullness of Fire & Trees

The fire came to sit beside the tree. The tree brave and hesitant leaned down to ask the fire what brought her to his side.  For the tree knew that fire was both good and bad, while the tree only knew good. The fire sat quiet for a moment. She peacefully gazed towards the setting sun in the winter sky. "Did you know, spoke the fire, that I am a part of the sun?"  Now for the tree this was difficult because he only knew the sun to be good. So the tree asked the fire, "How can you, knowing both good and bad, be apart of something that is only good?"  The little fire looked up at the tree, smiled and said.   "Sometimes I spark when I shouldn't and sometimes I burn too hot but the sun tells me I am more.  Though some may know me as both bad and good, the sun see's me in my fullness and calls me by a different name."  The tree waves his branches and leaned in closer to the fire.  With a grin across his face he said, "The sun calls you loved as the sun calls me."  The tree recognized the fire for the first time as himself and remembered that though we are all made different we all come from the same sun. And the sun has no favorites. The sun loves and restores all.
