What does fire have to tell us? We are watching multiple wildfires spread through the residential districts of Southern California. My business coach, and dear friend Cara Kovacs has been evacuated to Joshua tree, posting a picture of her sweet corgi bathing in the sun. As of this writing, there is no power in Joshua Tree or Southern California. John Kim, the co-founder of my coaching training program, has posted a video on Instagram of the space where his home once stood, followed by a reel of him shopping for basics to get him and his family through the day - a successful therapist with 416K followers and a book on the shelves at Target, starting from square one - socks and underwear. I woke this morning thinking to myself, what does fire have to tell us? This morning, I meditated on the fire inside the wood stove in the corner of my frigid front room. I thought about how fire moves - its capacity for destruction and regeneration. Some will rebuild. Countless others have lost everything with no safety net in sight. This wildfire is the direct result of years of extraction and suppression. It’s the result of the rampant disregard of the wisdom of indigenous fire management practices. It’s the unquestionable result of an ecosystem buckling under the weight of extreme climate change. But under the scorched earth, mycorrhizal networks are preparing to rebuild. And, like them, we can be of most use when we step away from the collective narcissism and crushing loneliness of our times, and reach for each other. We may feel helpless to stop what we’re facing as a collective, but we are part of a long tradition of people working together to challenge seemingly untouchable power structures.   While the Palisades Fires are still at 0% containment, the best we can do is to hold our loved ones close, donate what we can, take a deep breath, and continue to move into our power, one healing step at a time.
