Light from far away

No ruler needed

The light from the sun travelled 93 million miles so it could end up magically squeezed through our fence and painted on our grass.

But no one would have known had we not tip-toed through the patio door in our bare feet and played with the lines and angles until we were pleased with the result.

Which reinforces a couple of truths that seem especially worth remembering today:

- Things that happen far, far away can absolutely touch us in a profound manner mere steps from home.

- We'll never discover the magic playing out mere steps away from where we sit unless we throw caution to the wind and get out there.

So if anyone needs me, I'll be out there, in my bare feet, waiting for the sun to reach out and paint my world some new shade of wonder.

As ever, there's plenty of room on the lawn, literal and figurative, for anyone who wants to join in.
