"One early morning, my brother Nathan and I were playing outside and collecting rocks in a worn plot of land next door where a trailer had just moved out of. The grass was all dewy and the sun was rising and shining through this giant pine tree that was at the end of the yard. All the dead pine needles laying beneath the silhouetted tree burned orange where the sun touched them. Yet it was cool out. And that is what I remember. Though the moment was not unusual or seemingly significant, the whole memory stands out in my mind very clearly and I have remembered it throughout my life. This made me contemplate how each of us have our own subconscious significant moments embedded inside; experiences expressing themselves years later either by dream or living reminder. And the most beautiful thing about how our minds are designed is that sometimes all you need to make a lasting impression is something as simple and available as the light."
