“A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.”

Fairytale Epidemic 
Great reminder.
Some days, reminders are all we have.
Always loved the story of Assisi when I was a kid. Great quote
Just recently discovered this quote, I didn’t even know there was a story!
Yeah quite a nice one too. Not being religious in the slightest I find it odd that I am about to quote a prayer lol, but there is a prayer called the prayer of st francis of assisi and it has in it the lines “O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love”
Always liked that 🙂
Oh that is a lovely quote/prayer, thank you for sharing!
Hehe –
I can’t help it! It’s so beautiful!… hahahah
First thing that came to mind 😀 I have a strange mind…
I like strange minds 😛 Couldn’t you tell already?
I kinda guessed 😀
Cannot see your face in all that light….sometimes the light is blinding…
That’s what Jp said when she took the photo! Sometimes it can be a bit much. But we laughed at how it kinda looked like I was about to be abducted by aliens, hahaha.
Ah, yes it does look like that!
Not only is the light concentration on the person powerful, but the fact all facial features are obliterated makes this shot especially great. ANY-one could be that person…in the light…and maybe the light blurs the lines between separate life forms…and is just how it should be…Life–without pronoun of possession.
or something!! 😉
That’s such a wonderful way to look at this photo Karen, I love your thoughts and analysis on this one. ^_^
Mm… very interesting quote! And I think it’s very true, if someone thinks of something enlightening, problems can seem so small, as if the dark areas of their mind have become insignificant – flooded with light perhaps? And the same goes for sharing something with someone, maybe something they needed to hear, lights them up all over!! 😀 And of course, actual bright sunlight really does do that!
I love the way you are glowing like an angel – or possibly could be aliens. Is there something you haven’t told us about your trip yet!!!? 😉
I can see the quote from many angles. Such simple words can have different effects on people 😀
It was a short and uneventful trip (minus all the gorgeous photos I took!). But I think UFO’s prefer to come out at night… and there is no way I’m doing a night hike!

I bet that was an ethereal and gorgeous sight to witness, and you’ve written about it so beautifully. ♥
