The Leaf

Have you ever persisted at something that had no hope, no support but one tiny, bright ray of light? Isn’t it glorious?

A single ray of light isn’t a reliable source of fuel for very long. Good thing sunlight is a renewable form of energy… Isn’t it?

Apparently, when Somerled isn’t getting any poon, the glass isn’t just half-empty, but the water tastes bad, too.

I just caught this now, but it reminds me of one of my favourite poems about winter.

‘Black hole sun, won’t you come,
and wash away the rain…’

I try to respond with ideas that either echo or counterpoint the initial offering. Much of my background is musical, the rest technical.

I hope you and the other readers enjoy the contrast and the sometimes-obscure amplification I attempt.

I’ve noticed that about your comments. I enjoy them a lot. They often give me some music to listen to.

My life has often been bearable because of that one gleam of hope and light. It took a long time, but I finally made my way closer to the Source of that light.

There’s a lot more light than shadow now.

I wish everyone else the courage to move toward it.

Hope and faith can get one a very long way, not necessarily faith in anything in particular, just that you’ll get by, that things will get better. I can wait for that beam of sunlight a long time because well….what choice have I got? I’d rather believe it’s coming and try to put myself in its way than just wait to wither and die. The only difference is in myself.
