People find the light in their life in so many ways and places. It can be as easy as turning on a switch.
Some find all the light they need in a sunset…
…or a moonrise.
Others find illumination in a church…
…a synagogue…
…a mosque…
…or a library.
Sacred is a place that lights up your heart.
It isn’t always easy to find…
Some look for it in food…
…at the bottom of a wine glass…
…or through yoga…
Some light up with the joy and anticipation of adventure.
And what constitutes an adventure is very personal.
Sometimes light comes in the form of a bright idea, a flash of inspiration…
The joy of creation in all of its many forms…
Everyone’s light shines through differently. To each his own.
It is there.
It is there.
It is there.

The light of a computer screen in the middle of the night…. Seriously, my favorite ‘ringer’ in this group is the campfire. I’ve written poems to a campfire. 🙂

Something there is about a campfire! I think it appeals to our most primitive selves. Thanks for sharing, Scilla. I am always interested in knowing which photo catches someones eye.

Oh yes. To follow the light, for me, is the reason I am living.

I love your photo essays, Naomi. Every picture speaks a thousand words :). Perhaps should The Bearable Lightness of Being, rather than The Unbearable (with apologies to Kundera!).

Wow! The pictures were absolutely delightful! And what a wonderful, important message. 🙂 I agree that love shines the brightest, but I disagree that you’re not a poet – you’re most certainly a visual poet, and I think photography is one of the hardest of the creative mediums to master. Bravo! So well done! I was trying to decide which photo is my favorite…I love the library, but am also drawn to the moonrise…but I think I like the sun on the wet stones? (3rd from bottom) the best. Such gorgeous texture. Thanks for making my night a lot brighter!
