How interesting is it that the brightest light in the night sky casts no light of its own? It borrows its radiance from another entity altogether, shapes it into something new, and shares it for all to see. In some ways, moonlight is like photography. I do not create the beauty in the pictures I take. I did not sculpt that flower, design that bridge, or stage the clouds just so. Instead I borrowed the beauty that was already there, shaped it through my eye and lens, and shared it here for all of you.
