Basking In The Light

During this Time of Darkness -- you know, the time between the end of Daylight Savings Time and the Winter Solstice on December 21, when the sun barely hoists itself above the horizon and it's light every day for about 12 seconds, tops -- it sometimes helps to revisit earlier, lighter times. For the sake of preserving one's sanity.

Mistah and I went out to our friends Lisa and Michael's vacation house one afternoon last summer and it was, as always, entirely lovely.

Mistah spent a lot of the afternoon taking photos of patterns in the sand .  . .

. . . hey, if you like taking photos of patterns in the sand, and you're good at taking photos of patterns in the sand . . .

. . . I say go for it.

And Mistah did.

We drank wine and ate ripe tomatoes and garlic hummus and olives and yakked and yakked.

It's easy to solve all the problems of the world when you're drinking wine and looking out at this scene.

. . . marveling at the beauty . . .

. . . basking in the light.
