Fire
dumb creatures - 2 sticks rubbed together/or a flint and striker
the first spark of it comes gleaming into the world
in many old cultures it was tended by the women, kept going, banked from day to day
warm blessings to those who use and handle it well
destruction to those who let it get out of hand
