I was walking home from the subway today, thinking about a couple people I care about who are facing some challenges. Then remembered some happy news (times 2!) I heard earlier today about friends Kathy and CJ and looked up and suddenly saw the beautiful lights in the tree in front of St. Ann's church. The holiday season starts early here in Brooklyn Heights.
The focus of my profession aside, I wish trees could be lit year around. I always loved the majestic palms sparkling at night, illuminating the dark Coast highway on the drive home from Laguna Beach, and in Florida over Christmas. One of my brother in law's favorite movie is "Fandango" (which could be called "Hangover" part 1). There's a wonderful scene where the village gathers for an impromptu wedding, bringing all that's needed to support the couple in love. The lights in the trees make the evening magical.
Helen Keller amazingly said "Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows."
I think it's the same with lit trees at night.
