Everyone gets burned in their lives and its deep within but other times we are scorched and the burn becomes more visible, apparent by the look on someones face. Scorching means to burn superficially something as to discolor or damage it. That heat can transform something into a beautiful thing or ruin it forever. We all go through trials that can burn us deeply or show people we have been through the fire and we are better for it.

Daily Prompt: Mythical #wordpressdotcom
In this world of chaos perhaps we need to have an imagination to help us cope with it. Myths and legends help us to deal with the reality of true existence. Some mythical tales can inspire and give something for us to aspire to. Stories of amazing things and creatures from a different age can take us to a different place where the amazing is the rule rather than the exception. I think myths and legends are important to the culture of a place and a people. Mythical, magical creatures do exist and are real in your mind which is as real as anything.
Daily Prompt: Percolate
Every good thing takes time. Thoughts, coffee and ideas. Like coffee percolates so do the things in our mind. A good brew takes beans, water, heat and some steam to make something delicious. So today as we work may good things percolate to fill our coffee cups and our spiritual chalaces. May you get your fill of things that are percolating today.
Daily Prompt: Filthy
Filthy is kind of like a onomatopoeia, a word that sounds like itself. Being filthy is a byproduct of dirty work of various kinds. It also means doing something guilty that makes you feel filthy on the inside. I can remember times when being filthy meant I was helping others do some heavy lifting which was a good thing. Then there is being filthy rich where you are wealthy. Being filthy means getting dirty in a lot of ways. So I suppose being filthy can be a negative or positive thing depending on what you are doing.
Daily Prompt: Lofty
Everyone has some sort of goal in life. For some they are very lofty, very ambitious. To have that sort of idea requires lots of work, dedication, persistence and perspiration. A lofty goal can also be one that is unattainable and unrealistic but there are people who are working to make their dreams come true.
Then there are people who are of a status that puts them in their minds above everyone else. They treat people as less than and have a superiority complex.
Great speakers are gifted in their oratory and eloquence as they inspire people to ascend to new heights and to be something better. They can challenge people to rise up to a challenge and to achieve something great.
Daily Prompt: Flames
The flames of a campfire or in a fireplace on a cold night can warm the body and soul. The flicker of the red, yellow and sometimes orange hues dancing are very hypnotic. Flames can mean other things like the heat of passion or the heat of an argument. You can get burned by flames but those same flames can illuminate a path and help you find your way. When controlled flames do amazing things but when they are left to their on devices they can be destructive and very harmful. Flames can also inspire and make you wonder. May we all keep our flames in check lest they burn someone or something we love.
