so as i was sitting on the driveway with my pepsi, kicking it with my cat, and looking at the view beneath my house, i noticed a few things. the sun was setting behind a thick haze that either smog, fog, or perhaps both. i watched the ice cream truck play its familiar theme as it drove by my house. a slight breeze kept everything nice and cool. my black cat's hair has a tint of brown from laying out in the sun so much. i wondered if cats could contract skin cancer and was worried about my cat but then i realized i was thinking silly thoughts. and while these things were going on, i thought about how wonderful life can be on this tiny little planet in an ocean of stars. i also thought how blind humans can be to this beauty. instead of enjoying this beauty together, much of humanity wants to blow each other up. i wanted to take all those people and have them stare at the sunset through my eyes and tell them "hey, isn't this what all of you want? to enjoy a beautiful sunset?"
just something to think about.
