Sunlight and Home
To me, comfort is sunlight.
Sunlight travels from the Sun to Earth across 147 million kilometers in 8 minutes and 20 seconds.

As we spin on our axis, sunlight guides us through time.
Our lives are designed by the Sun’s presence, absence and the infinite degrees in betweendawn, sunrise, morning, noon, sunset, dusk and night.
Be it concealed below the horizon or obscured by clouds,sunlight remains the conductor for nature’s rhythms and the source of life of Earth.
Sunlight is never still. It is reflected and refracted. It reveals swirling dust and steam from a hot cup of tea.
Sunlight enhances and defines. It is silent. It is fleeting.
Sunlight warms and burns. It heals and nourishes.
Sunlight is visibility and blindness. It is light and shadow.
As clouds clear and the glow intensifies, textures and colours adopt a rich hue.
To me, sunlight is a renewed appreciation.
