Sunday Focus: This Little Light of Mine

[Editor’s Note: This ongoing Sunday feature pairs photographs from Meg Boscov with a thought (or two) from the managing editor about focusing on tiny things to find something significant. Click on the picture itself to view at full size.]

 

 

“Turn on your love light let it shine on me. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.” Do you have someone who lit up your life, who is no longer here? Shining a light on those memories brings such pain, yes? But forgetting isn’t an option, and even if it were, how could you ever keep that person in darkness.

 

“Walk into splintered sunlight,” the Grateful Dead tell us. “Inch your way through dead dreams / to another land.” Eventually, although the pain never subsides, something light breaks through, yes? This Sunday, the garden asks you to see if there’s light yet. Hope there is.
