That’s what flowers often are for me, vessels holding sunlight. And that is the title of my series of images appearing in the latest issue of Blackberry: A Magazine. Blackberry is a new digital and print literary magazine showcasing the writing and artwork of black women. The editor did a lovely job of integrating art with words in this issue focused on “where the light is.” Check it out by clicking on the following image.

Remember the orange tulip?
Well, as the petals have dried, all these other colors have been revealed.
the gift of an aurora

I do not know if I will ever see an actual aurora in the sky. But as I downloaded these images from my camera, that is what I thought of.
The strands of light were produced by a little USB plasma ball. An office gift, Steve plugged it in one night to delight a young child, but turns out I was the one delighted by the light display.
I’m sure there are much clearer pictures I can take over time but I kind of like these dreamy shots. They stir my imagination. And they remind me of the words of Joan Feynman, thanking her brother for giving her the aurora. Hear her for yourself via this short Youtube video.

I am not blue today, red with anger, or green with envy. Perhaps I am an opaque shade of brown and black and gray. A splash of burnt orange as the sun continues to rise?
Regardless, just a thoughtful mix of darker hues. That is what I feel as I watch the melting snow. Perhaps it is that falling water that makes me think of tears. Tears blur the world even as they rinse the eyes clean.
