Magic lies in the details. Pay attention to the little things and the big ones begin to change in amazing ways.
Just look at the big screen, lighting turns a healthy man into one of sickly gray, fear appears where none was before. Then, with the flick of a few switches, that man is transformed into one of porcelain beauty, Michelangelo's David. Or perhaps, with the flick of another, he gives the impression of almost being a child, robust and pink and glowing with health.
Nothing really changed except the light.
It is the way I see things, that influence my thoughts. Look for the laughter, the music, the joy and it is here, always here for the taking. It works the other way too and often that seems like an easier road to take in the beginning. Light can be frightening, it exposes the truth in ways I may not be ready to accept. Shadows offer places to hide, places to escape, but the truth will ultimately appear anyway, so why prolong the agony?
Taking a deep breath and letting it out gently, I take the first tentative steps into the light.
