Today, after hours spent wrestling a stubborn blaze at a small hillside cottage, I found myself alone, sitting on the truck's bumper, watching smoke slowly fade into twilight. Everything was quiet—no sirens, no crackling flames, just the rhythmic sound of my breath finding its way back to calm.
In those rare seconds, gratitude hit me unexpectedly. I felt thankful for my team’s courage, our equipment’s reliability, and especially the simple blessing of silence after chaos. A sense of calm always returns, no matter how intense the flames. Reminding myself of that gives me strength—both as a firefighter and as someone who tries to bring that same calmness to yoga mats each evening.
Sometimes the best way to appreciate the silence is to first embrace the noise.
