Sometimes, the world seems to be on fire

Set the world on fire

Sunset, Friday, Grafton, Vt.

Sometimes, when I am feeling discouraged, or bewildered, or frightened, or stumped by life, or weary in body our soul, I take my camera and I go look for the fire in the world and if the wind is right, and the sun is right, and I am willing to move, to lie down and wait, literally, for the light, then the world is suddenly on fire, and I am lifted up, and cleansed.

Back on the farm, I had a wave of uncertainty, recalling all the Fridays I came home to trouble and worry, and had to reset myself, reboot myself, send another signal out into the world that I am good.
