Light.

Light.   Hmmmm  - not heavy?   Nah – that  doesn’t fit my multi-X before the L circumferentially challenged self.  Something that makes vision possible?  Well sure – that’s a blinding flash of the obvious.   And isn’t a blinding flash of the obvious something that enlightens or informs?       One certainly hopes so.

  How about a noteworthy person in a particular place or field – as in Ramana, Fossil, David, Paul, Grannymar et al – in fact any individual member of the LBC. All leading lights in the blogging world. They enlighten, inform and entertain as they shed light on any given topic. Hey – that’s almost a twofer!

Clearly light is a  multifaceted, nuanced word with many meanings.  It’s a spiritual awakening in your hour of need. The all-changing epiphany.  In its purest form light is the truth – which is why so much political discourse here of late is dark and dreary.

It appears light is whatever you need it to be whenever you need it  so light is also politically correct.  Or not.


Perhaps light is not something you can pigeon-hole.  Light gets outside the lines. Gee – that makes sense unless the lines are walls, ceilings  and floors at which time light is boxed. But is that really true if you are not there to see the light? And to open a door to look lets the light escape. Makes the room go dark.  So light is the absence of dark? It’s all so confusing.  Sigh.

I hope you enjoyed this brief light-hearted look at this weeks topic. As for me – it’s lights out time. But first,   thanks Will for making us all think. Please check the opther LBC writers for their take on this subject.  See how Will lit their fires.   Anu, Delirious, gaelikaa, Grannymar, Maxi, Maria SF, ocdwriter, Padmum, Paul,  The Old Fossil and Wil
