I usually walk by the river in the morning, but today i went down in the late afternoon as well – needing to unwind after my journey out into the sprawl. I sat for a few moments, and was ready to head back, when these rocks (and bushes) jumped out at me. I have walked by them countless times, never really noticing them, but today, with the setting sun, the light shone brightly upon them, and they came to life. How a light shining upon something or someone, or more so the light radiating from within, can bring out a glow or spirit that has been there, but had not been previously seen. I felt overjoyed, the stress of earlier melting away. I walked on in the changing light, and saw how much larger “rocks”, the brown mountains that ring this place and normally do not inspire me, came to life, with light and shadows, revealing shapes and form, a spirit had not seen before. And this called forth the light within myself, connecting to all around, looking forward to another day, wishing to experience the magic and mysteries to be revealed.
