There is something about the smoke that seems so peaceful, like it has all the time in the world. It curls up into the air and disappears into the sky, taking the stories of the people with it. The smoke is a part of the land, and the land is a part of the people. It's a cycle that has been going on for centuries, and will continue to go on for centuries more.
