"From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all."~Ralph Waldo Emerson

No, it isn't snowing in the summer, although I must admit that I'm already looking forward to it. Well, maybe not necessarily the snow or even the freezing cold temperatures for that matter (not quite yet anyways). What I'm anticipating the most is for that brilliant, golden autumn and winter light that Cape Cod is so famous for. That specific shade of shimmery yellow that falls so gracefully upon everything in its path, bathing it all in it's stunning beauty (that's me trying to sound poetic).
If you've ever experienced those moments just as the sun slowly sinks beneath the horizon in the fall or wintertime, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's a spiritual experience. It penetrates your soul. If you haven't, you have no idea what you've been missing.



"Light is, perhaps, the most wonderful of all visible things."
~Leigh Hunt
