Flying Light Over Worm Depository
2013/01/14

I was sitting in my office this cold winter day when I looked through the windows of my sun room to see a light flying across my worm depository, a compost pile covered with wood chips and leaves to keep the worms below warm and fed during the winter. I took a closer look at this light which mostly started on left side of the compost and moved to the middle to come back again.

At first I thought it was some swinging reflection from some object but could not find any to explain this optical illusion. So I started to think what this spot of light flying back and forth over the compost pile could mean.

I had been in the process of writing a thank you email to all those who remembered my birthday when I noticed this phenomenon. A light flying could symbolize life that goes back and forth. The compost pile, worm depository, could represent the death, like the leaves and wood chips frozen on top of the hill so the worms below can be warm for the winter months.

A small bit of light or life flies over the large hill of compost that has life moving slowing under the dead leaves and wood chips. Is this is not what life is all about, keeping the light of hope alive that flies over the death of composing waste. The worms and compost will be removed next spring to create castings and compost that will be used to grow flowers and food.

The light is alive and moving to remind us of the eternal truth that life comes from the deaths in our daily life. If I discover the scientific explanation of the light flying over the worm depository I will let you know. However, for now, it is enough to know that the flying light over the worm depository says life lives in this hill of compost and will rise next spring to bring new life.
