Looking Up

Last night I had gone to the roof for a few minutes to look at the lights, after an evening out.

Earlier in the night I had told a friend's husband that I didn't think I knew how to meditate, couldn't just 'sit there' with my eyes closed for twenty minutes. Apparently he used to try to meditate in the morning before the market opens, but then the dog would see him sitting on the floor and get confused and want to play.

I did confess that I do spend a lot of time on the roof, essentially 'doing nothing', or wherever I am near water actually. It's essential. "That's meditation," he said.

Last night, I just happened to be sitting and enjoying the harbor breeze, when suddenly fireworks began in Jersey City. I have no idea why they were happening, but they were quite impressive, and watched them explode and dazzle for several minutes.


Sometimes, especially when you're not expecting it, life brings unexpected fireworks.

  1. I totally forgot that you can see JC from your rooftop. We have fireworks here all the time during the summer. Private parties and whatnot. I used to be able to see them from my old place but now can just hear them. How fun to know that you can see what I can hear! xo JL
