What do Cowboys-n-Campfires have in common ?
Posted by Tom Strayhorn
Cowboys are full of wonderful tales from their travels and their
work. Campfires are a wonderful place to listen to tales whether
from a cowboy or shared among a group of friends over an ice
cold beer and a star filled sky.
Theres another commonality. In earlier times cowboys spent a
great deal of time sleeping under the clear star filled skies.
They enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the universe as they
stopped to rest for their night from a long day of moving cattle
across the country.
Today campfires are one of the few times we get to appreciate
the dark night skies with the twinkling stars. Its one of the
few times we stop and appreciate what a wonderful universe we
live in. In the city most of the beauty of the night sky is
washed out by the ambient light.
Cowboys-n-campfires share something else the big C. Now I bet
your wondering what the heck the big C is? The big C stands for
a few things Character, Charm, Cause, Caution, Cheerful, and
Chatting.
Both a cowboy and a campfire have character and charm. Depending
on the mood of both determines what part of their character we
see. A cowboy can be angry but so can a campfire. Im sure
youve heard your fire sizzling and popping. A cowboy can be
charming and so can your campfire. Remember sitting beside it
watching the gentle orange and red flames flutter so charming.
A cowboy and a campfire both have a cause. The cowboys job is to
herd the cattle from point a to point b. The campfires job is to
help you relax and to keep you warm. Its also their to cook a
meal, prepare a pot of coffee, or enjoy a marshmallow or two.
A cowboy and campfire share caution. A cowboy needs to exercise
caution when he herds the cattle. There are many dangers he will
face. A campfire requires your attention and caution as there
are many dangers it can cause. A fire can burn someone, and it
can spread and cause a forest fire if not properly put out.
A cowboy and campfire are both cheerful. A cowboy can be heard
whistling a happy tune as he carries out his duties. He always
seems to have a smile on his face. Next time you go by a
campfire take note of the mood of the people around it. Cheerful
of course! As they all relax and share good conversation and
good friends.
Cowboys and campfires share chatting. Cowboys chat among
themselves as they carry out their duties. They even chat with
their old friend their dog, and now and then youll hear them
chatting to the herd. The campfire is the ultimate place to
relax and chat with both old and new friends. Its a place to
enjoy great conversation.
So you see cowboys-n-campfires have a lot in common! Be sure to
check them both out sometime soon!
