Traditions : Passing on the flame... Fire gives off warmth and it also provides illumination. If it is under control, the benefits are numerous. However, when it is out of control, it is a monster that can consume everything in its path.

There are those who don’t think it worthwhile to celebrate any of these “traditional days”. Perhaps because they do not share the same enthusiasm and happy memories associated with these celebratory days.

Fire is indispensable to life. We need the heat that it provides during the winter months and we need the illumination it provides during the dark days of winter.

Be that as it may, the majority of society, continues to uphold traditions and values that help sustain the culture empowering and enriching it further, moving onward to the future.

Traditions, like fire, matters. We may come to the conclusion that traditional ways have no more value because we may have found new ways of doing things, maybe perhaps doing them in a better way. The value of tradition lies not in the old ways but in the remembrance of who we are and where we came from. We hate rules because they constrain us. We hate being shackled and contained but at the same time we need to be rooted and grounded in order to progress to the next level of our achievement. The value of fire lies in the fact that you can spread its warmth and illumination while keeping it under control to benefit you. Once the fire does down and the flames are put out, there is nothing left but the embers and the hot coal which will eventually cool down. The value of that experience is being able to remember the warmth and illumination that sustained you over a dark and cold night. Because, possibly, without that fire, you would not have survived. Traditions are the glue by which we experience the uniqueness of our humanity and our culture. Christmas comes but once a year and every year we celebrate it along with Easter and Thanksgiving.

Imagine a world without fire. Yes, stop and think about it for a while. The local fashion community in Spokane has lost two men who were devoted to their craft and their art. Martin Dow, teacher, mentor, and owner of Glen Dow Academy, who we featured in our first anniversary issue passed away suddenly a month or so ago and just recently, young Nicholas Tellez, actor, model, and artist also passed away. These were men who were passionate about their craft and their art who engaged in the local fashion community, taking advantage of every opportunity to contribute, to be part of something bigger than them. As a tribute to their contributions, we are featuring a collage of images taken by friends, families, and colleagues to remember them and also as a reminder that in the word of the German musician, Gustav Mahler... “Tradition is not to preserve the ashes but to pass on the flame” Let their life and the remembrance of what they have done while on this earth, be an encouragement to all to pass on the flame.
