Linger with me awhile
Light; it sustains, it defines, it blows my mind!...especially dappled light, that dance of light and shadow that entrances the 'I' and silences the 'me'.
To think, that those photons of light bouncing off that dewdropped leaf, took a million years of fighting against the sun's immense gravity to get from the centre of the sun to its surface, then a mere eight minutes to get from there to my eyeball, then a ridiculously tiny nanosecond to reach my consciousness...a piece of the sun is in my head...we are not just stardust, we are starlight...mind, blown!
