Recently I went to Holland
to see the work of the Master Of Light, Rembrandt.
The crowds at The Rijksmuseum
are gathered in number around
his masterpiece The Night Watch.
Even from a distance,
the light emitted from the painting is so radiant,
so pure.
It’s akin to being up before dawn
to be in the presence of first light.
It causes awe,
as if seeing light for the first time.
