All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.
Leo Tolstoy
Catch
On the beach one morning
I am wallowing in
darkness. It is
Vast and heavy
and threatens to swallow me-
until a golden retriever
runs up and rolls in it.
I laugh,
forgetting,
then stop to watch the sun rise
with her owner
in silence.
Moons and years pass by and are gone forever, but a beautiful moment shimmers through life a ray of light.” – Franz Grillparzer
Continuum
Light falls on the edges,
Dances on water.
illuminates the moon,
and makes the city shine.
It creates dark silhouettes,
and kisses crows’ wings
It casts warm shadows over everything.
I’m reading a book called Zen Camera, by David Ulrich. One of the early practices is about observing light, so this post is inspired by that.
Thank you for being here!
