There was a man who kept a fire burning in his home.
At first, the flames were strong and warm, lighting the entire room. But over time, he grew busy
and stopped tending it. The fire did not go out—it faded into glowing embers, giving just enough heat
to survive, but no light to fill the space.
One evening, he knelt beside the hearth and placed fresh wood onto the embers. He blew gently, not
forcing the flame, but giving it air. Slowly, the fire caught again, rising brighter than before.
The warmth returned—not because the fire was new, but because it had been cared for.
