The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was covered in clouds, but it was still pretty on the edges. I watched the sky darken and wondered where the light had gone, but it was a fleeting thought as I enjoy the beauty of twilight.
I’m sitting here thinking about a movie I’m watching. I have watched it before many times, and I always enjoy it. I know lots of people who watch this movie and don’t think too much of it. I know just as many that think it’s a fantastic movie and that everyone should see it.
At the core of the movie is a series of fantastic events that seem magical at the least. Of course that is the core of the movie, but the magic I am talking about goes a little further and begs the question of how far you would go for a friend, or for family, or for someone you love. For me at least the question is what limits do you place on who you are?
It’s kind of funny when you think about it, and as I sit here writing I realize I have written about it even more. The further question should be, would you walk into hell for a heavenly cause? What would you give of yourself for a friend or loved one? Isn’t it the same? Or isn’t it different engaged by each person with how deeply they love.
Here I am thinking about it, and all of the years that I have done what I could or walked away when I had to. No matter how hard it hurts or how great the reward a truly loving person gives of themselves and does what is necessary to make life a little better for their loved ones. Maybe even a lot better.
What about you? Are you the center of the universe where no one else matters? Are you that person who gives of themselves until there is nothing left? Or are you that person that gives of themselves and fines someone who gives back just as much? I am quite sure there are dozens of other permutations, probably hundreds. I hope no matter who you are that you find happiness.
So where’s the sun sets on another day, if you didn’t know the movie is Practical Magic, and sometimes when you wish for something impossible it can come true. I hope your love is strong and that your life is everything you ever wanted it to be, and if it’s not, find your way, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and enjoy the evening…
