How to light a fire
The queen wants to burn bright and steady, to show exuberance and enthusiarm and not to be a flash in the pan. Any fire maker knows building a great fire takes time, patience and good quality materials. Start with an eye for selecting the finest branches, sturdy and solid, grown with time. Chop and whittle into the fines fuel. Take on a flicker, care for the tiny flame. Build and build, do not rush the build, do not be tempted with the quick burning fuel or the rapid firelighter, just with patience and care work until the finest resulting fire can be appreciated long into the night.
