The Balance of Life

Last night as I was driving along an empty street of Highway, I looked to the horizon and took a good look at the

moon. It was extremely low on the horizon, one of those moons that you think you can reach out and touch. It

was full, had a red/orange tint and was mesmerizing. In a word, it was beautiful.

Today, the newsman at the radio station where I work told me an area family of three died in a fire. A 33 year old

mother, her 3 year old son and 1 year daughter perished from a fire of unknown origin. I didn’t know the family.

This is my life, this is our life: there is beauty and tragedy everywhere in the world. It’s giving me pause to think,

and to realize, maybe we need to pay attention to which end of the teeter totter we’re sitting.

Find something beautiful in life today.
