| | I know it's a little past the day, but for those of you who do not live in the D.C. area, or those who do and did not see the display on the mall, picture this:
A half-hour of fireworks so spectacular that one cannot help but be moved. Off-whites, greens, blues, reds, oranges, purples all in starbursts, puffy clouds, raining willow trees and shapes that only fire raining from the sky could make. This was set to a musical score of the 1812 overture followed to the finale with the Star Spangled Banner. Mix in thousands of people filled with feelings of patriotism, freedom and love for their lives, oohing and aahing.
Almost a week later the event still makes my heart pound in my chest, my breath shallow and my stomach drop. It was like falling in love all over again.
