Art (photography) can be a way of shedding light and spreading love.

THE SAINT OF THOUGHT

One moment each noon, faced

where the sun is, turn

from events to the church in the stone.

The shade under your hand

welcomes you. Let the lamp

in your forehead explode.

In the long dive of your life

past the sun, these are important,

these meetings. Repeat:

“Rescue me, Day. Hills,

hold the light.” Lift your hand.

Let the dark out.

–William Stafford
