There is a magic in that little world, home: It is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits.
Robert Southey
Home. We take it for granted most of the time, yet without it we are lost. It can be our compass rose, our nest, our shelter from the storm, our place of rest. And, if we ponder home, it is not our address, not the wood, the stone, the block, the drywall... that makes our home. What our makes our home is, of course, the people inside the house, and the way we have arranged the gathering of things we treasure to make a place of comfort, and of refuge. We are grateful, within an instant of pondering it, that we are so fortunate as to have a home, with heat and water and doors and windows. We know; we are blessed. Let's honor that blessing by celebrating that blessing, by lifting that idea right into the Light.
This week your archive assignment (meaning delve into all those stored/archived images) is to look for images that speak to your heart of the light of home. You can make use of your scanner to go back to that home you carry in your heart- the home of childhood and memory, or your first family home as an adult.
Your photo assignment may require some reflection. Photograph the light of your home. Consider multiple meanings of the word light. Interpret the words of the assignment in multiple ways. Where is the light? In the faces of family or pets,sunlight streaming into a favorite spot, cozy rooms, a moment in time, the windows light from within in the darkness... some place else?
Draw the written portion of your journaling from your reflections on the photo assignment, on the process of chooisng your archived images...
