fires are cleansing, and in the wild often a necessary force of destruction to allow for fresh growth. the cinders left after the dramatic flames are just as important a part of this process, because they hold the potential for future burnings. tiptoeing between ashes and fresh fuel, cinders may have just enough energy to light again, passing the flame along to fresh burn piles to start the regeneration process over.
be the cinder you need in your community. know your capacity. keep yourself from burning all the way out, retaining enough energy to pass the torch while you work on your next stage. and if knitting is your means of recovering your energy, these socks will prove easy enough for you to almost - almost - take a mental break while you whip them up for your tired toes.
