Monke Challenge: Look at fire.

Light a fire and gaze into it for at least a moment or two. Try to feel if there’s anyting primal left in there.

It can be a match, a candle, a lighter, a barbeque, a campfire, whatever. Do it safely but do it. Don’t scroll past and go ‘o haha monke’ but rather put your phone down and go look at fire and feel the monke within.

Don’t make a tiktok about it or an instagram post and don’t share to all your friends. You don’t have to post about it here. It’s just for you. Reconnect with who you really are.

Maybe it’s dumb but just go do it already.

    Based and monke meditation pilled.

    I used to do this from time to time, back when I lived in the countryside and heated my home with a fireplace. I absolutely despised that chimney, particularly having to go outside and grab wood to burn with temperature below zero degrees. I always wondered why we couldn’t have radiators and evenly spread heating like normal people. And yet…

    Sometimes I would stay downstairs late at night, staring at the flames as everyone else was sleeping. That felt good. I guess I did feel the monke within. I kinda miss that part of having a fireplace.
