golden
Last night the light was gorgeous.
Gorgeous enough to drag me up off the couch despite a migraine, gorgeous enough to warrant the real camera rather than the phone camera, gorgeous enough to bathe everything in beauty.
Today, I still have a migraine. I am behind in the work I need to get done this week, I am tired and my house is a mess.
There is always something that needs doing, always a reason to be here instead of there, always the feeling that the pile of sand in the bottom of the hourglass is larger than the pile of sand left at the top.
Last night, I didn’t care about any of that. Last night, I sat in the sun as it slowly drew long shadows over everything in sight.
I read and listened to birds, threw my head back and stared at the sky, inhaled crisp air just beginning to smell like autumn.
Life can seem so complicated. But really, it’s all so simple.
It’s all about the light.

This year, days like that have been too rare for me. And I conveniently forget that I’m partially responsible for paying enough attention to notice that they’re out there waiting for me to participate.
Beautiful, beautiful shot, too, as always

Follow the light. This is a glorious week of changing seasons, and I am glad that you are able to ignore life’s little limitations long enough to follow the light; follow your heart. You are the beautiful light.

Absolutely perfect, I adore the picture too. We are so fortunate that artists like you pay attention and respond to the world despite the onslaught of to-dos and the pain. You have my empathy on the migraines I’ve had them since I was a child.

well, of course, that little heart teetering there at the bottom of the image, about to spill out and over the edge – of course i saw it first, and hoped it fell on out and dropped onto your toe and was the exact perfect medicine needed to make you feel better. hoped it would open up and even more golden light would touch you. xoxo
