Splashing Light
South Fork Snoqualmie River, North Bend, Washington
Does light make a sound as it splashes into a flowing river and briefly transforms the green into drops of liquid gold?
This question popped into my head when I came around a bend near the end of my hike, as the sun was dropping behind the trees along the river bank, and this patch of beautiful light on the water caught my eye. Once thus captured, I was drawn into the moment as if enchanted. I stood in the one small spot where this magical scene was visible, as the light danced and the river sang.
And there I stayed while the water sparkled and shimmered, until it spoke in a fading voice with quiet promises of unwritten poems and unheard songs, and the gold slowly dissolved into the encroaching dusk.
