Light it and let it burn

The safest fire you will ever start.

Staring into a fire is one of humanity’s oldest forms of relaxation. Here you get to start one — safely — and watch it do what fire does best.

Touch the surface and a small flame catches, creeping outward with glowing embers at its edge, charring everything it passes and leaving drifting ash behind.

Guide the burn with your finger or light several fronts and watch them meet. When everything has burned away, a fresh surface appears — matches included, guilt not.
