wherever there is light there is a chance at beauty. being present and aware, ready to open up to something other than your own thoughts, having good timing (like doing dishes at sunset) can often be enough to convert our boring world into something magical.

i was doing some dishes and the sun was coming horizontal into my kitchen. I washed a glass frying pan top and the light hit it off the drying rack and turned my wall into a light show.

photos don’t do it justice. but i only took it so i could remember and remind you to stop now and then and watch what’s going on around you.

you don’t need to be a photographer to take part—in fact, you’re probably lucky if you aren’t.
