Comments on the Fireplace
Central to this theme are the hearth, the fireplace, the bonfire, the campfire.
The direct results can be burning, heating, cooking.
Less direct would be implications such as, fire can be used for sterilization, for cooking clay pots, for tempering steel.
Social effects from fireplace, gathering, conversation, comfort, warming, relaxing, sleeping around the fire. Campfire learning can occur.
The hearth can be considered a key element of a home (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearth)
Interesting to note that the "Latin name is focus.[1]" (Wiki)
So if the homeless condition can be considered that of wandering the streets, or the man that is stated as having 'no fixed address', can we now find that person a focus?
