The Difference As I Grow Old

I used to look at others and wonder, 'What is it like to be different?' Now I know that I am they, and they are me, and the resultant we are all just huddled here around the fire, watching, silent, content for just a moment that the race of life has slowed. Who would have thought just a campfire could do all that? ~

Ah...campfires bring lovely memories to me, Robert. I used to love the flames dance...watch the sparks fly up into the night sky studded with stars. Yes...you are right...campfires always bring a time of reflection. Beautiful write, indeed.
