Bonfire

Tonight we had a bonfire in the woods next to the University, in Carmel Park to be exact. We sang songs and enjoyed each others company, rejoicing in almost being free for Passover. We made smores, but the marshmallows taste bad here. The sky was very clear as well with the moon projecting a glow across the sky that just makes you feel so lost in its beauty. The stars were also a welcome sight amid the dim glow of the bonfire as it slowly receded into smoldering remnants. The bonfire's flames illuminated a small circle of people, singing, laughing, talking, and dreaming. When the flames disappeared the people were still there, still illuminated by the now distant light, and even in this darkness we sat and continued with our evening.

Leaving the site I couldn't help but think how much fun it would be to do this all the time. My advice people...live life to its fullest, enjoy the people you are with (or if you don't, ignore them while having fun), try your best at everything, and finally if you think you aren't good at something...90% of the time, you are wrong. Oh and don't take life too seriously its too short to fret about every little detail, chances are if you think you are having fun, you are. :-)

  1. Decisions are made by those who show up. Oh, and Israeli marshmallows are kosher, they don't have pig gelatin, but fish something... it takes away the taste and some of the fun...
