The sun sets on another day…
Sunset shimmered for instant to instant and I wondered how much beauty could be put into a single series of moments.
I could not even see past the sunset tonight, the sky was so intense it almost hurt, like the person you speak to that suddenly links to a chord and becomes a part of everything for a short time. Sometimes beauty hurts. The sky tonight was as such. The sky was full and was pushing the limits of beauty, and I enjoyed every moment.
Sometimes it’s OK to be over the top. Sometimes it’s OK to strive higher, push farther, and generally make things better than anyone else thinks can be done. Sometimes it’s just a necessity. That’s OK. Sometimes you don’t even know you’re over the top. That person you talk to that is intense, may not mean to be, it just may be the way they are.
By the same token, you may be setting the standard that makes other people uncomfortable, hopefully not in a bad way. Be that way if it’s what works.
Remember that every day is an opportunity to live over the top, and to be over the top. When you are, sometimes it’ll just make sense. Here i sit, enjoying a sunset that is beautiful beyond belief, thinking about all of those people that make me feel the same way. It seems pretty awesome to me.
So as the sun sets on another day, maybe it’s just how we look at it. Maybe sometimes it’s OK to realize the magnificence of everything and just not pay attention to the mundane. After all even though Robin always said “holy (something or other) Batman” even when it wasn’t that exciting. At least it was to him. Live life with exuberance, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and holy wowsers…
