   I just posted to various groups asking about positive   
   associations of fire.   
      
   In that post I said that I thought positive associations   
   of fire were referred to in Sarah McLachlan's song   
   Into the Fire and negative ones were referred to in   
   her later song World on Fire.  Is that how you would   
   interpret those songs?   What other songs or poems   
   do you know of that deal with fire?   
      
   Here is that post   
   -------------------   
   What are some positive associations you know of fire?   
   I know of the negative ones of hellfire and destruction.   
      
   I think positive ones are referred to in Sarah McLachlan's   
   song  Into the Fire   and negative ones are referred to   
   in her later song  World on Fire.   
      
   I don't really believe in the theory of four or five   
   elements but am interested in hearing more about it.   
   If I had to pick someones to correspond to the   
   four elements it would be, from among my deities:   
      
   Air  --- the one who turned the wind around   
   Earth --- Gaia (The Earth)   
   Water --- Water (the chemical someone H2O)   
   Fire --- Sola (The Sun)   
      
   and I'm not sure about the usual fifth   
   Spirit, maybe LOVE2 or Samadhi Someone.   
      
   But anyway I am mainly interested in positive   
   associations of fire or even sparks.  I think   
   in Hinduism fire is related to creativity but   
   I asked about that on alt.religion.hindu and   
   nobody has replied (but that group is very   
   low traffic and the few there may have killfiled   
   me or consciously ruled my posts out).   
   Sometimes fire is related to sexuality as well.   
      
   Also what are other poems and songs you know   
   dealing with fire, including any you have written.
