Light can do some pretty spectacular things. Because of light we can see. Light gives us rainbows and
sunsets. Light bends and gives us
lots of physics homework problems.
Without light, there is darkness (good work Sherlock). I am afraid of the dark. I am afraid of what I cannot see that
might be lurking in the quietest corners.
It seems noteworthy to me that the boundary between light and dark is
one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
We often stop and pause when the sun rises or the sun sets,
and splashes of color fill the sky as time passes dark to light, and then light
to dark. It is in these moments of
transition that we most often stop and take in the surrounding beauty of
creation, before going back to our day and our to-do lists.
There is beauty in change. Though I may be nervous about where the future is heading,
or what the darkness may bring forth, there is beauty in the path to get
there. And after the darkness,
after the difficulty of trials and new things, there is beauty once more as we transition
back to light, and back to the known and familiar.
