Decided to capture some light that was dancing in front of me this afternoon. Major bonus points if you can figure out what I photographed. I’ll post the source of these images in a few days. Thanks for stopping by.
abstract anyone?

it’s a journey after all
i'm so glad the Light found me just as i am i began to be free identity restored i'm not trying to earn anymore i'm so glad the Light found me and now a love has touched my soul all of my past all that’s yet to unfold slowly being restored i was blind but now i see oh, i’m so glad the light found me i still stumble and fall it’s a journey after all so be patient with me i’ve got miles to go i’m not what i will be it’s a struggle you see but this Light found me so i trust and i wait it’s the mess i call faith but i’m so glad the Light found me

so hello clouds
so can we talk about clouds today it seems they took the sun away and i’m in my overcast life there’s something different about this light so can we talk about clouds today my head tells me that it’s okay the Light is here and not far away but it just doesn’t feel that way cause in those cloudy skies i think i see some dreams that cry and dense dark memories why did i say those things or why didn’t i say anything at all i wish those clouds would fall in rain and storms of healing let it rain let it rain so can we talk about clouds today i suppose if they never came i might lose the love of Light and forget that those clouds do give me sight i see you and me and the story that only can be told if there are clouds so dreary is not the end you’ll see i choose to sing to sing out loud so hello clouds

in a little corner of my home
a cup of coffee in a little corner of my home lights and shadows remind me of what lies within me darkness and light love and hate goodness and self-centeredness the memories descend life and love family and friends grace and peace laughter and song so many gifts undeserved and plentiful soon the wraith of dim stories arrives failures loss shame and the quiet ache of all things left undone and of all that i have done to others and to myself i choose to surrender to all the images that so quickly float through my mind as i lift my gaze in a little corner of my home three crosses Calvary such an ugly place of death of pain of sorrow of suffering and it is there in the midst of the darkness and light of my life it is only there where the lies i tell and the lies i believe are exposed where my shame is undone in love and acceptance where i trade my burden for hope mercy love and the lightness of forgiveness and i realize He is here with me in a little corner of my home
