independence
Fireworks.
The beautiful representation of the beginning and end of all things.
Starting with an amazing burst of light, almost blinding at first, and stretching out into seemingly endless rays - finally, as if turned off by a switch, the lights dim and ashes fall.
Perfect symbols for celebrating the fourth of July, as we celebrate independence, and in that celebration we also celebrate the joy of living and mourn those who have passed.
We live and we die, and that's it, (as we all know), but somehow comparing such a phenomenon to such wonder - it just makes it all seem so worthwhile. Life is not a beautiful thing. Life is many beautiful things, including death.
