Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything,
that’s how the light gets in.
I decided to bake something in my oven proof Pyrex ware this afternoon. Everything was marinated and prepared. The oven set at 375 °. I had set the ovenware on top of the stove.
The explosion of glass shocked my senses.
Thousands of tiny fragments were scattered around my kitchen. The food was destroyed.
As I cleaned up the mess, I noticed the larger pieces were like prisms. The Light from my kitchen window was making its way inside each broken piece.
Momentarily, I thought perhaps I could make something out of the glass. Then I decided that since the edges were so sharp and there were so many slivers that might not be a good idea. I swept everything up and disposed of it.
I had that Pyrex forever. Have no idea why it exploded and sounded like a gunshot in the neighborhood..
When you possess a light within, you see it externally
