Nothing can dim the light
that shines from within.

good light

If you see someone who has good light,
thank them for it.
It will help them keep the light on.

A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period –––
When March is scarcely here

so much light

In loving memory of the ever-luminous Mary Oliver…

I thought:
maybe death
isn’t darkness, after all,
but so much light
wrapping itself around us–

to be warm yellow light

I really just want
to be warm yellow light
that pours
over everyone I love.

The first step of peace
is to stand still in the light.

Everything

Everything is made out of Magic,
leaves and trees, flowers and birds,
badgers and foxes and squirrels and people.
So it must be all around us. In this garden–in all the places.

~Frances Hodgson Burnett, (1849 – 1924)

despite all of the darkness

Hope is being able to see
that there is light
despite all of the darkness.

~Desmond Tutu

If the world seems cold

If the world seems cold to you,
kindle fires to warm it.

~David Lloyd George, (1863 – 1945)
