Light Through My Lids
Something that I've noticed recently, but most particularly since I've been waking with the sun is how I can see the light increase through my eyelids as the sun rises. I usually do a thirty minute meditation immediately after waking. Before I would wake up more or less at 8 am while living in Texas 2 years ago. By then the sun is lovely, but the miracle of its movements isn't nearly as pronounced as now when I wake at 5 here in Irvine. It always gives me a strange sensation when I'm made aware of how this massive cosmic mass is moving with others of comparable size and that an even bigger ball of fire is at the "center" of it all. I was at a loss of how to capture the sensation of the light shifting through my eyelids so I simply tracked time and the corresponding light entering my window. Hopefully the window to my room can represent what I experience through my eyes as the windows to my soul. .
