Day 132 – WaterFire Providence

Today was the first lighting of the WaterFire in Providence and I wanted to be a part of the celebration for my intention. We have never gone to it but I have heard that it is a beautiful sight. All along the river that runs through the beautiful city are many wood burning fires perched right on the water lit precisely at sunset and runs through a good portion of the night. They are lit throughout several summer weekends but I wanted to be there for the first lighting.

So, Vinny, Elijah and I made our way down to Providence. We walked around the city a bit, mingling amongst thousands of people. There were gondolas slowing drifting through with couples inside (so Venice like), adding a sense of romance to the night. There was a live band and the most beautiful Italian opera music playing loudly overhead. The smell of burning wood was both aromatic and inviting and we could literally feel the warmth from the flames.

I found myself snuggled into Vinny as we leaned against a railing taking it all in. Vendors were selling bouquets of flowers and glow in the dark trinkets. Illuminated blue stars perched above the street lights added another elegant touch. While we were there, I thanked Elijah and Vinny for being a part of another intention and we talked for a moment about how much this blog has affected our lives in such a lovely way. Today was a beautiful day spent out and about with my family and this evening’s intention was an outstanding addition for sure. #HGAL
