When someone asks me what I do for a living I usually say a painter, and if my 6-year-old daughter Bella is by my side, she usually interjects and says: "She paints a LOT of fires" and then rolls her eyes.
Well yes, Bella, I love painting fires. When I paint them I feel like I might understand some hidden truth about humanity or get a glimpse of some secret revealed to me. Some poetic meaning about being alive and the magic of this world. So yes Bella, I might have to keep painting some fires.
