All Light

I am supposed to be working. I have a crapload of stuff to finish before I run away on Christmas holiday, however, the urge to blog has hit me full force. So, onwards and upwards we go…

All Light. It is impossible. It is impossible to be all light all the time. It’s impossible to shine like a diamond and twinkle like a star all the time. It can break a person, a quick snap like a twig under foot. One minute all light, one minute the brightness has burned itself up in an atmosphere it can’t possibly exist in. Earth tips on her axis, Jupiter shatters, Venus hides, the Sun implodes, the dipper fails to dip without a full on fall. It is impossible to keep the light, all light, all the time. The diamond has a flaw. A yellowed flaw that is hidden beneathe the blinding sparkles that protect it. It is not possible to keep together under such pressure, no matter how hard a diamond may be.  No matter how bright the star, it’s out there all by itself, shining, while people look up and stare and ooh and ahhh…but it’s up there, a zillion miles away from the people that are admiring it, or speaking sweetly of it.

It is impossible to be All Light. Impossible. There is a shift in the atmosphere, this is a realization stuttering its way into a full on sentence.  No stops. A transformation from what was and has always been since age 6 to the now.

All Light.

It’s a wonderful thing to be, but its time to pass this burdenous torch.
