What is this burning thing?

What is this burning thing? I grew up traveling and camping with my family and scouts. My family moved state to state every few years as a kid. In church we have a burning bowl ceremony. I camped and traveled more after I got married, more camping with kids and scouts as they grew up. It wasn't just a coincidence that after the kids were gone to college I found the community and nomadic nature of burning and rainbows, appealing. Mayhaps this article will explain more.

To me, it looks like trees burning in slow motion ...

The wind branches swaying leaves fluttering to the ground like a waterfall. To me that flowing yet erratic visual is appealing like the blaze, it is also what attracts me to juggling, the same as the waterfall or leaves falling.
