The sun sets on another day…
The sunset was dark, yet shards of yellow and red flooded the horizon as they peeked through the clouds and trees. I was reminded of the phrase “sublime yet ridiculous” and I smiled, then enjoyed the failing of the light.
Revenge, revenge, revenge, now we’re cooking. I remember hearing that long ago on a movie and considering just how crazy it was. Revenge is such a difficult thought. Revenge is counterproductive. Revenge is, difficult. Then again, so is the path that we all take.
Sometimes we just have to take a step backwards and realize that the difficult thoughts that we have can be set aside with the positive thoughts that we should have. It’s so easy to get caught up in the negative and as we do it’s often tiring and trying. It would be easier if we took the High Road and perhaps walked alone.
I know, I know, there are many people that find alone to be no fun. I know some people who thought they had what it took to be alone and failed miserably only finding a pathway to worse and more. But walking alone for a good cause or walking alone to find the positive Rd. Can be the most fantastic path in the world. Of course there are many people who would disagree, most of the time I would. Sometimes, however, I feel that being alone gives us a certain view into who we are and not how others define us. Maybe we don’t need to be alone for a long time, but maybe, just maybe, if we take a little time alone we can find out who we truly are.
Of course as I did that the scene from The Shadow flashed through my mind where Lamont Cranston pulled off his face and found there was somebody else underneath it. That may very well be, but if we discover who we are perhaps we can discover a way to enjoy 29,000 sunsets and maybe a few more. Perhaps we can make every day count if we truly know how to define ourselves. Perhaps.
Tonight I find myself looking to the sky and wondering. Somewhere out there there is something that defined who I was when I was alone. There was a time where I was so alone I could not understand even the interaction of another person. Somewhere in that time I rediscovered myself and redefined the person I should be.
Do you find alone time helps you define yourself? If you take away the people around you are you stronger? I hope you are and I hope you know that you are special always.
So as the sun sets on another day, it is another day. One more day and I find myself with time and enjoying my life. I hope you’re enjoying yours and I hope that you realize the spectacular life that you have, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and make it simple…
