"There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures." -James Thurber.
But, sometimes you need some glaring illumination. Hey, I think the two can actually be combined. Why not? They both create shadow. And it's the things that hide in the shadows once there's enough light for a shadow to exist, that you have to be aware of.
At this point I'm not sure which I'd choose. I just like the quote. I thought I'd share that today. That's all.
