Light

My eye is drawn to sunlight. 

When I walk in the mornings, I notice it reaching into the Hollow, chasing the shadows away.

In the woods, I love how it works its way in, shining tiny spotlights on a tree, a weed, a blade of grass, 

and dances on ripples in the water.

The sun is the epitome of benevolence – 

it is lifegiving and warmthgiving and happinessgiving, 

and to it we owe our thanksgiving.

~ Jessi Lane Adams

Light, God's eldest daughter... 

~Thomas Fuller

Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. 

It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe.  

It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished. 

~Michael Strassfeld

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.  

~Maori Proverb

The sun is nature's Prozac.  

~Astrid Alauda

The windows of my soul I throw

Wide open to the sun.

Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair...

In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.

When my heart is heavy, the sun helps make it light. 

~Astrid Alauda

No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

  ~Terry Pratchett

I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult Dr. Sun more.  

~Henry Ward Beecher

Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen.  Keep in the sunlight.  

~Benjamin Franklin

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, 

and thanks to a benevolent arrangement 

the greater part of life is sunshine. 
~Thomas Jefferson

From within or from behind

a light shines 

through us 

upon things

and makes us aware

that we are nothing

but the light

is all

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
