Back light

A puzzling illumination
stopped me in my tracks.

The sun was not setting in the East.

 

These smoke bush leaves were backlit 

by the light bouncing

from a West facing window.

If I hadn't started a blog, 

these and a thousand other miniscule moments

would have been lost to me.

But more importantly 

I wouldn't have had the pleasure of
 seeing, reading, hearing and learning 
so many other fascinating things,
sent out into the world by bloggers 
for their moment in the sun.

My blog, somewhat to my astonishment,
 is still here four years later.

And if you are too,

then thank you very much

for backlighting these pages,
from the North, South, East or West.
