Do You Feel It Burn?

We had a cookout today with two BBQ's going - one for hot dogs, one for our notes and books from the school year. I didnt participate in the actual catharsis of burning my learning materials, but I did bear witness to one of my friends burning pictures of their ex. I kind of think that burning objects that once had significance is sort of nice. I'm not a pyro or anything, but I like the idea of a purging fire - it cleanses through its destruction.
