from the mind of critic-12/8/17

From the mind of critic: “If blinds are meant to deflect light coming or block it all together, what do we do if they’re broken? Do we hang a sheet as a temporary fix, knowing it may or may not work, but atleast we’re under the illusion that it does? Do we go without blinds, using our hand to block the light? Do we not care if the blinds are broken, because the light is going to shine whether we filter it or not? We make many choices in life, none more important than whether to let light in, and at what volume. With how dark the world can seem, light can be hard to see. Politics and religion can block all light or bring it in, depending on our perceptions. Which brings it back to how much light we choose to let in or see. Once we realize that we don’t have to be blinded by the light, or swallowed by the darkness, we’ll see that allowing light to shine only blinds us when we don’t use it to benefit ourselves, specifically so we can benefit the planet. Blinds may let light in, but it’s our soul which absorbs it.” 🙂
