Fire dances, mesmerizes and consumes. It can quickly go from subtle, romantic and soothing, like my evening candle of ambience, to raging maniacal destruction, as I witnessed earlier this year in the aftermath of the horrors of the deathly California wild fires.
Somehow this fire display on my trip to Costa Rica last month, felt safe and calming, when surrounded by water.
Set fire to the sky, the sea and the spirit…
The Fire Dancer seduced the audience with her sultry moves, her body ever-changing with the beat of her soul
Thank You, God, for setting fires which refine and redefine, through death and rebirth. Thank You for new beginnings and for hope on the other side of destruction. Help us to always know that new growth only comes through the tests of fire.
Happy Easter, y’all!

Whoa. How is that water on fire?
The wonders of pyrotechnology were at work at Casa Chameleon, where the tradition is to watch the sun drop beneath the horizon and *poof!* these torches light up at the edge of the infinity pool. But my fave was the amazing fire God painted in the sky, mirrored in the water – made the torches seem like rudimentary caveman play! 🙂 Happy Easter to you and your family, Mrs. Betsy!

Yes, the sky was truly amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us. Happy Easter to you as well!
