The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was beautiful but understated. Kind of like a moment that we should pay attention to but usually ignore. I felt good about the moment and I was amazed to be a part of it.
Maybe that’s what we should be always. Amazed. I like that word and as I looked through 29,000 sunsets I realize I use it far too much but maybe I’m amazed by you or by life itself.
Today while on a quest for cable and craziness I met a young person that amazed me. Life is kind of crazy if you think about it, because I think I’m 18 inside but on the outside I’m a crusty old man that’s waiting for pieces of me to fall off so I can put him on a box and hold on to them. Or something like that.
Anyway, this young person was more than fascinating as we talked about movies, books, and mostly music. I am overly fascinated with music because it finds its way into our heart and to our emotions not just by words but by notes and the power of voice and just by existing it can affect us and make us sway, push us to new heights, or drop us to forever lows.
Imagine a world without music. Wouldn’t that be a boring world? I appreciated this young lady because somewhere in the midst of our conversation I found myself 18 again, yearning to be free and finding the passion that’s always deep inside of me.
As I walked to my car I was singing a song to myself and as I drove I listened to the recommendations of songs she gave and smiled at the intensity. Somewhere inside I held on to the 18-year-old that I was and somewhere inside a new dream was born.
Do you ever meet someone that inspires you to be you? Find those people and make them realize that they are special. They are special always because they remind you of you and the magnificent moments that we all can have.
So as the sun sets on another day, all I can say is wow. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could let people somehow know how special they are. From those people we hold on to to those people that inspire and take us to new heights without even knowing it. From our good friends and family, to those people that should be our good friends and family. Everything is amazing always if you look at it the right way. Find your way, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and life is fantastic…
