RIGHT SIZED

     The ocean and a fire-pit are equally healing. The sound of them soothes the nerves- rolling, crashing on the beach, snapping into the air, humming steadily... The constant movement of water and flickering light restores us to our right size in the scope of things.
     We think we are so much bigger than we are, and that all of our plans and designs make such a difference. But they don't really; not by fire standards, or oceans. We are made small by Nature, and that's a good thing. It heals us, and relieves us of the burden and the need to be so very much in charge.

It's a comfort to be part of the whole, and to know that my part is equal to any, but to recognize that I am not the boss of everything.
