Seething in the Light; The Glistening Unblack




My pensive co-worker came in to the office and found me in an odd stance. I was standing in the room without the lights on watching the shards of light come through the blinds as then crossed my hands. No blood or wounds; but the sharpest of angles lay the surgical lines of light. After a clearing of the throat; he swaggers to his desk and mumbles ok to himself. Of course, a moment like that requires some definition. And thus, the blog begins...

Light is fascinating. It reveals what is already there and its absence conceals what may have never been there. How interesting it is to watch it wrap or stretch across a floor or objects, not really changing the color but in its illumination we decifer it as just having light on it. The color is the same but "lighter." You can feel the warmth from it and scientificly I assume it has some weight; but how fantastic a substance! As water leaves things wet; light leaves its own fingerprints....evidence that it passed this way.

What are the mysteries of the light? Can we travel in or like the light? Light: granter of life and death...what a coin.

Slow down and watch the light, how it coats, reveals, hides, colors, illuminates etc. Hold out your hand, close your eyes and feel its presence while moving into and out of the light. Notice the change from light to dark; the feel, the weight, the presence of each. What a wonderful invention!

Big Light like walking outside during the day we take for granted---But Concentrated light always gets our attention---Whether its through the blinds, or a flashlight at night...Light is great --but concentrated light is incredible...I'll let you take it from there---
