"light is sufficient to itself"
May a friend hear the contents of your heart today.
May you float today: all will be well, all will be healed, all will be at peace.
May a friend hear the contents of your heart today.
May you touch a pen to paper lightly.
CREATIVE INVITATION
What is the quality of light between you and a certain other person? If you drew it, what would it look like? What color and texture is the light between the place you are sitting now, and the place someone you love, far away, is sitting?
Take out some colors and draw, or write, the quality of this light.
Light is sufficient to itself –
by Emily Dickinson
Light is sufficient to itself –
If others want to see
It can be had on Window panes
Some hours of the day –
But not for Compensation –
It holds as large a Glow
To Squirrel in the Himmaleh
Precisely – as to me –
Poem, ca. 1863
