Encouragement


Light.

What a curious thing.

 

Light can be hot or cold,

clear or murky,

bright or dull.

 

Light can be mean or kind,

fresh or tired.

 

Light can be coloured;

white, green, blue or red.

 

You can bathe in light,

thirst for light,

flee the light…

 

There is nothing you cannot do with light;

nothing the light cannot be.

 

 

There is one thing you must do with light:

 

Use it

 

For, I have found, light is like life;

it is only its use that defines it.

 

Unused light,

as unused life,

is such dreadful waste.
