Light reflections from a bird bath (iPhone art)
I have decided to start a new practice. I’m calling it “How the light gets in.” Every so often I plan to take a stroll through my old photos and pull out some that bring me a feeling of “how the light gets in.”
“There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” — Leonard Cohen
To shed some light for those who feel like they are walking in the dark…
To brighten your day…
To remind us (you and me) that the light shines in through the cracks of our brokenness and we are enough just as we are, perfectly imperfect…
Let the light shine…
May you walk in beauty.
