The sun sets on another day…
I was at a concert tonight as the sun set, surrounded by people lost in the music. As I sat listening to song after song the sky shifted, and everyone around me became a shadow. For just a moment as twilight passed, we were all the same.
I get a kick out of all the differences that people talk about. Some people love to separate everyone and put them in little containers. We had tall and short and a variety of races looks and many other physical characteristics but for just a while had the edge of twilight none of that mattered instead we were a series of people watching a fantastic group of musicians light up the world with sound. It was more than amazing not because it was anything special but because it was something prophetic and perhaps unseen.
I’m not sure if anyone else noticed all of the people and how they blended into a unit clapping and laughing and smiling but I am hopeful. Perhaps if people take a step back for a second and find our common positives instead of looking for our common negatives we can grow. Perhaps if we realize that underneath it all we are the same we can become more. It is a happy thought.
So as the sun sets on another day, consider well that everyone around you looks the same in twilight. If we let loose our eyes and realize that we can’t see inside, maybe we will pay attention to the good in people and maybe, just maybe, you will find a way to enjoy each other as I do. Keep being you but remember you are part I feel a lot more. You can be amazing every day, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and see beyond your sight…
