You must love WaterFire. I was dating someone at Brown around 1999 and she was one of the volunteers feeding the braziers so I had a front row seat. It was right around the time WaterFire was beginning to grow and I really enjoyed it. A few years later I was amazed at how big it had gotten. I took my wife one year, maybe 2007, and it was humongous. I think it was more fun when it was smaller.

Anyway to stay true to the thread, I also find fire, especially on water, very peace inducing. Barring burial at sea, which I doubt I will get, I would love it if someone would just stick me in a canoe, tow it out to sea a bit and set it on fire...after I'm dead of course.

When I'm at home I find the following super therapeutic:

audiobooks or my fave music playing on the Bose
something yummy simmering on the stove
cleaning or purging items I don't need
Facetime
face masks or spa treatments
fuzzy socks

Listening to my old fashioned kitchen timer ticking away while cookies bake. It reminds me of when I was little and the comfort of hearing my grandma's clock tick while I slept in her quiet room on visits.

Good old-fashioned homemade food. Cooking and baking as much as I can from scratch. Feeding the ones I love their favorites and seeing them light up over something so simple. Food could be a love language by itself.

Rainfall....... it's very soothing to hear. I'm actually lying on top of my bed, watching it come down in sheet after sheet....then it stops for a bit....then, it begins to rain again. The trees, in the neighborhood west of me, are simply beautiful. Bright pinks, pale yellows and deep pined blooms are everywhere...so very pretty.
