as we went to head into town
leaving our little adobe house
moving toward the door
i said
we still have one more light to turn off before we go
response was
a pause and silent moment
then
look up
oh
it was so bright and streaming through
not used to such a brilliant sun
shining down on me
inside
complete shift

‘attention, if sudden and close, graduates into surprise;
and this into astonishment; and this into stupefied amazement.’

Sunlight is a special kind of light, the kind that can lift a mood and give purpose to the day.
Best wishes, Pete.
