Fireplace Log:
“When we see a log burning in the fireplace we see how very fast a hundred years unrolls before us-- how fast we are unwinding time. As it burns from one annual ring to the next the stored up sunlight of one hot summer month may flare up in an instant. So the fire in our fireplace has been sent here-- telegraphed by radiation-- from the Sun and stored these many years.”
