Sacred embodiment of heat and light

Summer of intense heat and long duration brings up internal combustion for most of us.  We fight and push against this thing called 'hot'.  In many traditions, heat is the symbol for purification.  Feels like a tsunami of light bouncing off the waves of the sun.  Can we aallow the waves of cosmic light to wash away old structures and reverse our values to embrace, release and allow resistance disguished as suffering to melt away?
