LIGHT
Every so often, as I have gone through this life, certain words have made an impact; stayed in my memory, for one reason or another. Maybe they make me think of a person, or a place, or a certain moment in time. Some of the memories have been happy and many sad, but they have all been brought back by words. Such seemingly insignificant things to be able to have such momentous effects on me. On this page I would like to share just a few, in the hope that you too will understand some of them.
