Fire

We don't have to worry about nothing

'cause we got the fire

and we're burning one hell of a something

~ Ellie Goulding

Gathering around a fireplace and having important conversations is fun. For whatever reason, fire generates storytelling. It probably has something to do with our most basic human instincts to be in community around fire for meals and warmth and safety.

I don't like it when we are huddled around the fire and someone wants to tell the story of how they learned to fold a fitted sheet, though. I'm never going to remember that the next time I try to fold a fitted sheet. 

Plus, I bet that was not one of the main stories of our earliest ancestors.
