In fireworks as in life it’s best to remember that a whole lot happens before the grand finale.
While you’re worrying about how to navigate the crowd to get back to the car a lot of good stuff is going on.
The end will always find us. And it may be beautiful and powerful evidence of your best effort. But when it comes it really is the end, leaving us to wonder what we might have missed while we were waiting for it to be over.
Don’t be in a hurry. This next one just might take your breath away.
