A fire takes tending.

A fire takes tending.
In correct order, consideration must first be taken regarding the intended and boundaries -
The intended being what is desired to burn vs. what is not.
Boundaries keep the flames contained and undesired items from entering therein.
Then, is it to burn quickly or slowly?
If quickly, the tendee must keep pace around the boundaries, folding the items in on top of one another, stacking them high.
If slowly, spread items out like on a plane of existence in time.
But a slow fire can be difficult to keep lit, as a quick fire can be difficult to contain.
Yet in the end of both, ashes remain. Sometimes more than ashes, but ashes just the same.
