THE LUXURY OF LIGHT
Photo by Tim Girvin

After the long running, days on daze of grim light, the proverbial oyster shell coloration of the Pacific Northwest wintering, low rolling clouds, the Sun merely a fuzzy luminescence. Today, for a moment, a turning to spring, sprung — that first evidence came to light — a bursting, bright and swaying in the breeze.

Sun coming.

I took a minute, just staring into that light, Sun brilliance, feeling that on my face, eyelids and eyes — and watching the bobbing movement of the flowers, daffodils.

Just that, a swaying grace — a quiet and unknown rhythm, like heart beat. Which is that – the rushing heartbeat of life’s light, seen in the momentum of just that instant.

A luxury: light.

Even now, it evanesces into the fading…

Thank you.
