118 – Light v2

I want to try something different, which the new page explains (see Lights tab). I hope you participate.

FYI: A slight schedule change. The next post will be next Sunday (6th), not Saturday.

I like walking on the beach. It is good for the mind, body, and soul – and refreshing on my feet.

The previous walk was about light, but “light” is so much more than a luminary – therefore a reason for a second walk.

Light is a message from a messenger delivering the truth – for others seeing truth as in seeing the light, while others seeking answers search for the light.

Light is a metaphor for divinity – a spiritual illumination, enlightenment, a point of view.

Light is a leading person in a particular field or place – one who informs as an expert.

Light is a set of principles or standards.

Light is an expression in someone’s eyes indicating a particular emotion or mood.

Light is understanding a problem or mystery.

Light is an aspect, angle, slant, approach, interpretation, viewpoint, standpoint, context, and opinion.

Light is a descriptor of little mass, lightweight, low density, easy to lift or carry.

Light is a descriptor of quantity – as in a meal: small, modest, simple, easily digested.

Light is a descriptor of food – as porous, fluffy, low-calorie, not heavy, not too strong.

Light is as a taste – not sweet, not alcoholic, low in cholesterol, low in fats, low in sugar

Light is easy, simple, undemanding, even trivial.

Light is gentle, delicate, soft, faint, sensitive – a soft kiss.

Light is a comparative – light, lighter, and lightest.

Light for instruction and guidance – a guiding light, a lighthouse showing direction – the green light to proceed – the red light to stop – yellow to be cautious – but the area may be a red-light district.

Light is someone special who shines on your life.

Light is a descriptor of moods as in happy, easygoing, gentle, playful, carefree, lighthearted, upbeat, witty, free of worry, and happy-go-lucky.

We get ideas when the light goes on, which is helpful to cast or shed light onto something – but at the end of the day, some are out like a light while others like me are light sleepers.

Light on your feet is graceful, agile, quick, and nimble like Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly – but light-headed is different from light as a feather.

Light is something that exposes, reveals, or discovers.

We like those we see In a good light because they are the good, the positive, and the favorable in our eyes.

Light – that noun, verb, or adjective – a metaphor, analogy, and common idiom – therefore much more than a luminary and much more than I imagined. For me, this walk has been a delight to do and one causing me to smile. After all, I like walking on the beach because it is good for the mind, body, and soul – and refreshing on my feet.
