contrasts

you know the interesting thing about when even the simplest ray of light enters your otherwise darkened world is how much more aware you become of the contrasting states that exist therein. there is the source of light that can bring a sense of warmth, peace, even a bit of joy. and then there's the rest that can almost look even colder, starker, and sadder in comparison. i wish i were the type of person that could live off that single source of light, but i'm not. still, it's better to have a little light than none at all. we take what we can get in times like these.
