Succession

It's pretty neat how the creation speaks of the Creator. Even in studying succession of forest communities, you can see parallels. Death must occur before new birth and creation. Old things must die before the new life can spring forth. A fire is cleansing and can reveal things unrealized for years. Without fire, some changes can never occur. New life comes in stages where the old is shed before the new, bigger and better things come. If you don't have wildfire, there are many beautiful wildflowers and strong trees that you will never see.
