freedom...

it was early evening last week as i was walking home from a bike path jaunt.  the sky was stretched over me with blueish gray clouds, threatening rain.  suddenly in the distance ahead i saw a whole bunch of little flashes of light.  i realized it was a handful of little fireflies doing their nightly dance.  it was breath taking, sounds silly but it was. it made me realize as those moments do, how much beauty we are surrounded with,  how lucky we are to have the freedom that we do.  we can do what we want, when we want.  you can sit in your back yard and  pursue your dreams.  not everyone is that lucky.

tomorrow america will celebrate freedom but remember it does come with a
high price.  it deserves remembrance and honor .  have a safe and happy 4th...
