I had an interesting lesson in life this evening. I came home from work and found my new checks in the mail. This is kewl, now I can write checks again! What is so special about that you ask? It’s simple, it pisses everyone off at Wal-Mart, standing in line, and that is what I like to do the bestest!
Anyhew…….
I decided to take my old box of checks out to the fire pit and burn them. It’s way more funner than shredding them. I dumped about $7.00 of gasoline on them (1/2 gallon) , then torched them up! Bye bye good for nothing pieces of paper.
But this is not a lesson in life……. Unless you consider my singed eyebrows!
So anyway……
I noticed a lot of sticks in the yard. I decided to add them to my checks cause they are about equal in value. The sticks immediately caught on fire, so I added a few more. Then I noticed some small logs in the woods at the edge of the fence line. Now I’m a guessin you can figure out what I did then! I had some wood left over from Saturday night, so I added that also. Now I have a raging fire and a bud light in my hand!
Life is good !
I sat and watched it all burn up Slowly consuming all of what was placed in there.
As time went on, the fire died down, the intensity of the heat slowly waning. I got to thinking about my life, where I have been, the things I have done. It reminded me of the fire. How everything just seems to immediately ignite ever so powerfully, only to be consumed and eventually die out into nothingness. Now here I was enjoying the fire and all of a sudden getting really depressed.
We all work hard to acquire things in our life. Be it material possessions, money, or relationships. Some are blessed to hold onto what they have strived for, gently fanning the flames and adding to it, to keep it alive, while others allow the things once important to them to be consumed and eventually burn away into nothing. I pondered which category do I fall into, and I think maybe a little of both.
I thought about my divorce and how it stripped me with nothing but the shirt on my back. But I rebuilt my life, only to have it burned up again in a second marriage. My first wife cheated on me, and my second was a drug user, now serving time for attempted murder.
Now I am getting all depressed here thinking it’s time for me to just toss in the towel on love and relationships. Maybe I should be like other guy and just have fun, do the sex thing and let it go at that. The problem is, that is so not me! The fire is telling me that no matter what I put into it, it will be consumed then burn away.
I was just about to walk away, and something happened. All of a sudden a gust of wind came up, and the fire reignited into a massive fireball once again! It was raging !
In a moment, it went from dying coals to intense flames once again!
Now this is what it is all about. Just when I thought the little sparks that I have left inside me are about to fizzle out, I realized that just a breath of fresh clean air and life can turn on a dime and reignite all that I feel inside, and want to share with someone.
She is close, I know inside she is. I can feel her words. She warms my heart and brightens my day. She keeps me awake at night thinking about her. She keeps me constantly distracted. She muses me with her thoughts and silliness. She is patient, waiting for me to heal, so that one day, we can rekindle the spark, and make the fire rage once again.
Yes, she is totally awesome !
And one day…….
I will meet her, whoever she is !
……..and the fire rages on !!!!!!!!!!!.......
Thanks for stoopin bye, and remember……
