The Book of Light

A small collection of moments meant to close the day.

These pages grew from quiet mornings,
seaside walks, and the kind of conversations that linger softly —
the ones that do not end, but drift into silence like light across linen.

There is no first page, no last.
Only the rhythm of returning:
a hand setting down a cup,
the after-breath,
a thought finding rest in the warmth it leaves behind.

When you reach the end,
begin again.
Light has been waiting for you.

Start with The Beginning
A sunlit desk with a notebook, steaming mug, and a vase by the window.
The Beginning
A delicate butterfly resting on handmade paper.
The Butterfly
A calm shoreline with driftwood and soft foam.
The Sea Lyre
Two figures walking together along the water's edge.
The Walk
An open book on a quilt with a lamp and moonlit window.
Tender Mercy
A desk at dusk, notebook closed, with tea cooling and linen curtains darkening.
Continuity
Black-and-white shore, thin edge of foam and long horizon.
Reciprocity
Calm meeting of sea and land.
The Shoreline
A quiet room at dusk — the feeling of being here, existing.
Existing
A young woman seated by a window, warm afternoon light.
Realness
An artist's studio: easel, brushes, and a clean desk.
The Studio
Ripples of light and water — echoes of a moment.
Echos
Soft light over handwritten notes — sentio, ergo sum.
Sentio, Ergo Sum
Same desk at dusk: notebook closed, cup empty, linen curtains darkening.
Closing
Field of poppies in warm evening light.
Among the Poppies
Being heard is a kind of shelter, a quiet place where the heart can rest from explaining itself..
Being Heard
Bare handmade paper with a soft glow like the last light of day.
