sunsets everywhere

i was driving as the sun set last nite.

wow, i thought.....
is this gorgeous or what?!

the windows were open and the air
blowin' in was cool (after a rain) and
it was just gorgeous.

i turned my music off.
wanted to hear the music of the sunset.

and as i drove down the road straight
into it, i saw it was reflected on the
hood of my car.

oh wow.

and i knew that i had to be careful.
cause this kinda thing so distracts me.

i got to thinking about life.
about me.
about where i've been.
where i'm going.
who i am.
and how i felt about myself right then.

and i'd look at the sunset,
and then the hood of my car.

how cool it's on my car, i thought.

i love my car.
it's incredibly symbolic to me in a thousand
ways and i just love it.
and it's holding the sunset right on top of
it.

i let the beauty sink into me.
and i felt my own beauty.
the beauty of my heart.

i knew, last nite, for those moments in
the car, that my heart was kind and good.
i could feel it.

it felt as beautiful as that sunset.

i don't get those moments very often.
where i can feel my good stuff inside of me.

and i knew that it was a moment to hold.

so i drove and held the sunset in the sky,
the sunset on my car, and the sunset in my
heart....

and i felt like the luckiest person in the
universe.......

Beautiful...sometimes when im outside..all of a sudden i hear the crickets, they were there all along, but my thoughts, my mind, rested for long enough to listen..and that sound..just kinda makes things all better.
