We just had some friends over for another campfire. It’s a rare week that we don’t have a least one fire. It sure beats screen time. There’s something very basic and primeval to a simple campfire.
Humans have had fire for a very long time. It must be in our very DNA by now.
Fire provides heat and cooking. In fact, cooking unlocked nutrition that was unavailable previously. Fire is the very basis of our technological advancements.
For me the big draw of a good campfire is the coming together of community. We share food, sure, but we also share stories. Perhaps we developed language just to have something to do around the campfire.
The summer’s come to an end, but that doesn’t mean the campfires will.
