Little Light by guild member Brian Melton. On display at the Beautiful Mystery Focus Gallery located at the Folk Art Center, NC.
“Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16). Someone once told me that we don’t have light; we just reflect it. Maybe so, but can’t the light become as much a part of us as the prints on our fingers or the birthmark in the small of our back? Either way, illumination is a choice. Hiding it under a basket is a fair waste of of who we’ve become and who we’re becoming. Granted, we aren’t the source, But the shining is up to us. Insecurity and fear often try to lock up what has become ingrained, but a little careful trimming and whole lot of faith can unshroud a peace that comes from letting go and stepping forward. I’m still not the best at it myself, but even the smallest strides turn into miles.”
