We have no light within ourselves: we have the artificial light of others; the light of knowledge, the light that talent and capacity give. This kind of light fades and becomes a pain. The light of thought becomes its own shadow. But the light that never fades, the deep, inward brilliance which is not a thing of the marketplace, cannot be shown to another. You cannot seek it, you cannot cultivate it, you cannot possibly imagine it or speculate upon it, for it is not within the reach of the mind.

#Day76 of #100HappyDays / #365HappyDays : this is a photo of Kevin (the #kitten ) and Benedict (the #cat ) having a #cuddle just now.

I’m using them as my photo #today, because I can’t find an actual photograph for the real reason, because it’s one of those things that comes from inside. I’ve reconnected with someone important to me, and I’m happy and grateful for that.

But how do you photograph that? You don’t. So you get #cats instead.
