The Gifting
Fire was a gift, they say. A gift both dark and light.
For it may keep us warm or might scar us with it's bite
It can be used to punish, torment us to submission
Or illuminate the darkness... restoring our lost vision
So who, I ask, gifted us with this double-facing beast
Which God or devil... laid this burning offer at our feet
As smoldering puzzle to answer... a fortune or a fate
This enigmatic flame... we eternally both love and hate
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And so it begins... with the passing of the flame from bridge to boat, the torch-bearers embark on their river journey to set fire to water.

I met this girl recently passing through downtown Asheville sitting at the corner of Lexington and Walnut. I spoke with her for a short while, inquiring about the sign. She said her backpack and associated gear was stolen and was trying to drum up some funds to replace it. I gave her a few dollars to help out. I asked if I can take her photo, and she was kind enough to oblige. I left, wishing her much luck in acquiring a new traveling pack.
