The presence of light has such power. It can illuminate or bind us. Darkness shreds in the presence of even a single flame. It sets a mood and tells a story. It’s an element that shouts volumes, with just a whispered presence. Light is energy. Without it, growth is impossible. Nature has a way of…

Joy

Found in simple spaceswhen lights have dimmed to easeweariness of day from shoulders prone. In the morning beamswhere radiance singsreserving stage for feathered accompaniment notes.
