Journey Stone #90 Illumination
Light. Bringing light into dark
place or space, allowing one
to see and know what has been
hidden. Defining what might
have only been shadows.
I write for illumination. My
words are the switch that turns
on my inner light. That in turn,
brings light into my finite human
existence. One word, one day
at a time.

Note: This is the last Journey Stone for now. May come back to them and do it again. For now, I want to look up and explore some new words, perhaps in a very similar fashion, detailing a bit of history about the word and trying to use it in a sentence. I challenge you to do the same. Please feel free to use the comment section below to illuminate your own sentence. Thanks.
Lovely way to finish your journey.

Illumination
grows from the core of being
to light the whole world
when understanding is used
to switch on the radiance.
A Tanka for May Day.:)

Beautiful, Elizabeth. I’m sorry I missed so much of your word journey. Now that April is May I hope to have time to come back and discover. 🙂
O if I could illuminate a manuscript as did the scribing monks, glittering the page with icons to levitate meaning.

Thank you Annell. It is sometimes very dark out there, so I must carry a flashlight at all times, lol.

I write for illumination too. I find out what I think and / or feel when I write!
