Waterfire

I've wanted to go back and post about a great night V and I had back in September. We went to Waterfire in Providence, RI. Here, they set floating wooden stands on fire in the middle of the river, playing classical and worldy-music all along the riverbed. There were thousands of people there to watch the fires, but it was so peaceful. V and I walked along the river some, and then we got some champagne and sat by the river, just watching the fire. We were mesmermized. We slowed down. We watched, doing nothing except enjoying the scene and each other's presence. Waterfire was simultaneously playful yet meditative and full of energy yet relaxing. It was a very romantic night that also made me pause the fast-forward button on my life. Just thinking about it makes me happy and relaxed, but I need more.
