We cannot live only for ourselves.  A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men and women; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

    i love the purple ones. and those ones that send down fat, popping streamers of sparkly gold stuff- they look like champagne.

      I love the purple ones, too. And the sparkly gold stuff that looks like champagne.

      Btw, I’m fine, thank you, silly friend.

    I liked your quote. Was trying to see the connectedness with the picture, and what i saw was there seemed to be a thousand fibers or threads coming from the firework.

      Yep, that’s it, Amuirin. The stuff about cause and effect in the quote factored in (for me) too.

      Thanks, Anhinga. :)

      I had to play with it just to see for myself. It is kind of cool.

      Thank you, Marcie. It was pure luck (as it always is for me when it comes to taking photos of fireworks).
