Working on this reflection, we have made a discovery:
ash. Ash represents the trace, the scar, the
residue, or the essence that remains of what once was and is
no longer.
It is the consequence of what was once alive and is now no
longer so. A vestige.
The act of burning something is the conscious decision to want
to end something, to want to close a circle, to want to
forget and turn the page, and ash is what remains of that
warm day that is no longer warm.
