be the light



sometimes
you
have to be the light





i took this picture by pressing a pair of prismatic glasses
(that my cool essence sister ali brought back with her a few years ago from the burning man festival)
against the lens of my camera.

    pauline - i believe there's always light available to us - it leaves us of its own volition. steven

    That looks similar to the light pattern that comes from a well cut diamond...perhaps we need to be well cut people,,,

    Who thinks to press a pair of prismatic glasses against the lens of a camera?

    Well, Steven, of course!

    Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your light. ♥
