The burning of the clothes and the loss of material possessions can be seen as the first stage in the author's symbolic letting-go of who and what she has been so she can become a more spiritually enlightened and/or connected being. In many cultures and spiritual traditions, fire is symbolic of purification, of destruction of what has gone before so that new life can begin.
