A continuum is a living thing. It traces the path of a planet traveling around its sun: it heats up and cools down. There exists a relationship between water and fire. When water is away from heat it cools. A cluster of snowflakes is an animal of the earth. It is also snow and a flower, too. A horse gets fired up. When this occurs, it is enough to melt the snow. And it is enough to set the river on fire.
