“When you drink water, remember the source.” – Chinese proverb
Everything has a source, even words. The Latin roots behind “light” are LUC, LUM, LUN, and LUS. Think about these words:
- eLUCidate: to make clear; explain
- ilLUMinate: to light up; brighten
- LUNambulism: sleepwalking induced by the moon
- LUSter: gloss; glaze
There is something magical about sparkling lights, particularly at Christmastime. I’ve experienced several walks through lit-up expanses. Every time, the glowing atmosphere gives me a sense of hope and peace. Here are three of my favorite displays:
- Mini Ferris Wheel:
Neighborhood lights
- Tunnel of Lights:
Local zoo
- Asian-style:
Global Winter Wonderland
