“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
Leonard Cohen, Selected Poems, 1956-1968
It is in our nature to be attracted to light. As a gardener and a photographer, I am always checking to see where the light is. My spirit feels brighter in sunshine.
It is getting cooler in the evening, fall is tip toeing in slyly with sunny days that start later and end earlier. Rocking us gently as we prepare for winter, it is a very different light at dusk. The September moon, a full harvest moon is up earlier.
I am inspired daily by two of the “lights of my life”: grandaughters. One has been in Europe this summer and I am enjoying my daughter’s blog and loved these to pictures from her post-Cemeteries. I love the lighting and the procession of light to their great grandmothers grave.
I not only love the lighting in these pictures but the subject. What do we do when the rain falls on our sunshine?
“Don’t you know yet? It is your light that lights the world.”Rumi
Excellent quote – Leonard Cohen always says it so perfectly. We are all about the light too – and finding the light in ourselves and each other always carries us through the dark parts of life… For now, though, we are still playing in the sun!
