Today was awesome because of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Birthdays.
We headed down to the beach around 8:30pm for a little bonfire jam and to celebrate Branden's arrival on planet Earth, twenty-three years ago. When we arrived, a fellow member of the CouchSurfing community already had a nice little fire going with a couple of his friends. Branden, Robin, and I introduced ourselves to Jean-Luc, Adam, and Shannon, and took seats around the blaze. A little later we were joined by Mike, Ellie, and Jennah. Together, we talked, we fested, we got to know one-another, we admired the elements that created this moment, and we made some wonderful sounds.
Bom-pop-pop-bom-pop-pop! went the djembes.
Plinky-plinky-plinky-plinky, twinky-twinky-twinky-twinky! went the ukulele.
Wrrrrmmm-wrrruummmm-wrrrrriinnnnn! went the harmonica.
Doof-clack-doof-clack-doof-doof-clack-clack! went the driftwood and the stones as they were bashed together.
Heh-heh-heh, ha-ha-ha! went the laughs.
And the waves crashed lightly on the shore, like echoing cymbals, the fire crackled, and the flames danced in the breeze with grace.
Happy Birthday, Branden!
