Ive been thinking about light a lot lately. Maybe it is the time shift. Most likely it is spending endless hours on the computer for work and school. People are always consuming. Food, plastic, meds, information, furniture, jewelry, firearms, advertising and I’d never really thought about it before but light belongs on that list too. We consume a lot of it. Most of it is artificial. Much like our food. When I sat down to eat my breakfast today I just could not flip open my computer and write. I am tired of the screen. I’m tired of the glowing software. I just wanted to gaze out the open door and watch the grass grow. So I did. It was a little overcast at first and the birds were stalking bugs in the yard. They inspired me. I decided to switch up my priorities for the day and headed outside with my camera. I needed some sunshine. Which is a new feeling for me. I went by the farm and grabbed my veg, which they left outside for me (seems society is adjusting alright to this idea of social distancing). Then the sun came out. I walked around for a bit taking a second here and there to stop and smell the flowers. Everything is in bloom. Mountain laurel, the grapefruit trees, dandelions, butter cups, chickweed, lantana, bluebonnets, the poppies… it is amazing. The sun is really dancing things around out there. It danced me around too. The world may seemingly be going to shit but at least it smells good.
