Barn Light, Sunrise

Barn Light – Sunrise

I got up early to catch the sunrise and see the light tiptoe, slide and peek into the corner of the big old barn. Barns are porous, interactive things, they mix with the natural world. There are birds, worms, mice, rats, nests, dust, pollen, old hay and countless smells. And there is always light. The light always finds a way in.

“Imagine that you are light. All around you – in every corner and on every side – is light. Turn to your right, and you will find shining light; to your left, splendor, a radiant light. Between them, up above, the Presence. Surrounding that, the light of life. Above it all, a crown of light – crowning the aspirations of thought, illumining the paths of imagination, spreading the radiance of virtue. This light  is unfathomable and endless.” – from the Kabbalah.
