Nothing like the light from yonder window breaking to illuminate the odd lost scrolls of one's creative life. Or, more literally, show us proof that silver paint pen on a cruddy old door will never be truly wiped away - nor will it allow itself to be hidden beneath layers of semi-gloss paint.
Visual reminders of one's stepping stones may be small and sometimes imperceptible, but they become significant & powerful when you shed a little light on them, hit the pause button for a mo and allow yourself to take stock of all that was Then and all that is Now.
