Scenes from the Journey: The Light Comes In

Sunday, November 12, 2017

Whoa! The light comes in!

Open your eyes.

Or not.

The thing about light is that we can see it

even when our eyes are closed.

Try it.

Sit in darkness, eyes closed.

Open the blinds or turn on the light, eyes closed.

You can discern light through those thin lids—

and this knowledge might make all the difference

in your life.

Unconscious, asleep, unseeing—

know that even our self-imposed blinders

can't really ban the light.

And when we slit our eyes like a toddler

playing hide-and-seek

we are shocked back into awareness

of what has been there all along.

The light comes in.
