The sun sets on another day…
I sat watching a plum of fire light up the sky. There was intensity. Still the sunset was more beautiful.
I said thinking about this fiery plume today and all of the possibilities that it could be to have fire flying in the sky in the middle of nowhere. They were building in the area and there’s a lot more going on but my question consistently revolved on why.
I mean, the fire could have been used for a lot of other things. It could have had a portable power plant attached to it. It could have been powering an engine or being stored for fuel but instead there was just fire.
It was pretty, it did dance like fire does as though it were a thing that was alive. In reality it was kind of stunning. But still it was fire. Why was it there
I finally settled on the obvious answer, why not? Why not think about the fire as just an option or something beautiful or something that really didn’t concern me and maybe I should have just enjoyed it. Maybe instead of the questions I should have been experiencing the moment. I think maybe that’s the answer often.
Too many times people get caught in the moment of trying to figure things out when they could just be enjoying it all. Maybe, just maybe, I could have spent more time enjoying the beauty before me and not worrying about the why.
Do you ever get stuck in that series of thoughts? Do you ever wonder about something that really you should just be enjoying? I know sometimes I do.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you enjoy every second that you can. I hope you find the beauty in the little things, but mostly I hope you find that you are special and you deserve the world. Keep finding the things that you enjoy, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and light the fires…
