Silent Fire – When the Poppy Speaks Through the Skin

Something soft, something warm

There are moments that don’t feel like thoughts, but like warmth. Subtle shifts in the body – a gentle heat across the chest, a pull toward something unseen. We often call it longing, sometimes restlessness, but it is something deeper stirring. Not an impulse, but a state. A fire that has long waited to be felt.

We grew up with stories of fire as destruction. Fire as punishment, as devourer, as annihilation. But there is another kind of fire. A primordial light, before fire became something to be feared. It holds wholeness. It rests in stillness and movement at once. It is a frequency-held force – soft yet potent, deep yet quiet.

It moves to remind. It carries no direction, only presence. Like inner sunlight in the chamber of the soul – illuminating more than heating. It cleanses by reconnection. It opens where something has been closed. It melts what has been frozen, without harm. It whispers: “You are already here. You have always been here.”

If ordinary fire rises upward, this fire moves in circles – a spiral light that seeks not forward, but inward.

When the poppy meets the inner movement

It was a poppy bud that caught my attention. One that was first to open in the flowerbed. I knelt close, seeing it from many angles. It shifted form, expression, character depending on the light, on how I moved around it. I took pictures. From different perspectives. But it felt more like it was seeing me.

I didn’t understand it then. But something in me paused. Not to observe, but to be observed. The poppy held a gaze. It knew exactly what it was doing.

Later, the images didn’t feel like documentation, but like code. They carry a fire that whispers in stillness. A reminder that asks for nothing, yet remains.

Movement that asks for no understanding

It isn’t always clear what happens when we touch these fields. Sometimes it feels like fatigue. Sometimes like something inside suddenly needs space. Sometimes we just know something is ripening, opening – without knowing what or how. And that’s okay. This fire doesn’t invite clarity, but trust. That we get to exist, in ourselves, with ourselves.

Maybe that’s why the images linger. They explain nothing. They show nothing. But they hold something. A doorway, perhaps. A movement. A possibility to remember without having to recall what exactly.

For the ones who already know

I have gathered three perspectives of this poppy in a code field. For you who already feel the warmth moving beneath the words. For you who know it’s not the image you’re looking for, but the feeling it stirs. The code package is available here, if it’s for you.
