I met this
old guy at Yellowstone. When I visited Norris Geysers the first
time, got there late in the morning. He told me he'd been there since
7am and he planned to stay there for the entire day. Every time when a
geyser erupted, he would take out his little notebook and write down the
time and duration of the eruption. He told me that he has been coming
to Yellowstone twice a year for the past 25 years. He lives in Seattle
and would drive over 700 miles to Yellowstone. Two times a year - once
in May and once in September. He knows the names and eruption patterns
of each and every single one of the geysers inside the park --
incredible. I stood there, listened to him, chatted with him, and
then realized how vastly different people's lives are - it's
fascinating, when you think about it!!!
As I watch, smell and
listen to the burning madness around me, I wonder how on earth I am
still here on this planet -- living... breathing... seeing... feeling... walking...
LIFE is a precious and enormous thing!!

That's how I feel when I stand in front of my house and look up at the sky!
