Showing results for "Fire" in Divorce & Separation

When Christel divorced her husband, she was expected to fall into a ditch and become more than a fulsome, grizzly member of the lemon-lipped ‘divorced women’s club’. Instead, she made a vow that she would stay sane for her children and those around her, uttering nothing negative about anyone and forging herself forward, into a new space.

George and Stella's marriage is over. They can't decide exactly when that happened (Was it the Coke can? Or that comment about Jurassic Park?), but they both agree that it has. A couple of months after the separation, Stella's mother, Margaret 'The Force of Nature' Foy sends out invites for her murder mystery anniversary party - with George on the invite list. Stella hasn't told her parents about the divorce, she couldn't bring herself to.

A Cherokee elder explained to me: "Woman is Fire; she is the light in the darkness, the heat when it is cold, and carries the energy to synergize our food. Man is the Protector of the Fire; he keeps it from going out and from wildly burning down the forest." The relationships in our lives are reflected in this principle. Your relationships with yourself, your beloved, your family, and your life are all affected by understanding this principle. Every cell and neuron, every action and reaction, every choice and non-choice, is a relationship.
