I went to visit my great uncle at the hospital today. he had just had heart surgery so we went to see how he was doing. he rambled on about how he was feeling a bit better, complaining about the hospital food and how bland it was. I tuned out for a little, just looking around, and when I listened again, I heard him say, "I just want to go home at this point. I just want to watch the sunset behind my house." and that really impacted me. I don't know how to explain but the beauty of those words and things like that shake me into reality a bit. out of that reality that I'm usually in with electronics and music and everything and into the reality of life. how life really is special. how much I take for granted. flowers. wind. grass. fresh air. clouds. rain. sunsets. that's all he wants. that's what I have. grasp reality sometimes. watch the sunsets in life.
