On Things Seen and Unseen

Shimmering, it seemed alive...
At first the erratic glow seemed other worldly...
Maybe a dimensional shift, a gap in the fabric of the universe...

The refraction of light in just such a way off my brimming bowl as I watered my potted plants...

...and the dapple of shade mixing with the light.  I had never experienced in quite this way in this location.  It was unexpected, unplanned, and treasured.  A few moments of the refracting light having journeyed over eight light minutes through space to the earth as it  reached a peculiar point in the summer sky, playing tag with the neighboring house's ridge line and leaves moving slightly in the wind.
 Maybe...the light is alive, and on a joy ride...

  1. I love that ripply light--eerie and magical and perfect with your ornamented chair. I have a friend with a large pond and at times it glitters up about half her back yard. I like the motion of it too. You could make a movie...

    PS: Be careful with that hedge clipper. Good work though!

    1. It might be a SyFy thriller with tiny little being of light claiming our gardens as their home.
