I just portrayed a firefighter in an upcoming movie and realized the character has images in my mirror and many others. Although we don’t actually put out literally fires many a figurative keeps us burnt. We often do this work with nobody actually seeing the face behind the mask. The work we do can be taken for granted especially when it’s expected. Everything can be calm and peaceful and we loop to believe it just might stay that way when suddenly the figurative fire consumes everything around us. The times in between are truly cherished as we never know when the alarm will go off. Then our plans are something G-D laughs at. G-D willing the actually fire fighters and the one’s lingering in their mirrors return safely and find the recognition they truly deserve.
