Illumined

Ruby Light Bleed I, photo by liquid night

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” –John 8:12

Illumined

The Light bled the darkness

And took it for all it was worth.

Illuminating shadows—

Igniting new birth.

“The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.” –John 1:5

Facing into a new night

Darkness

Did not comprehend

The Light

Facing into a new Light

Facing into a new Light

Light

Did not comprehend

The Darkness

Facing into a new night
