Light therapy

The light is so much more than mere illumination. As I experienced, being in the presence of the Light was healing, loving, and fostered a sense of belonging, of home. This is because the Light is Christ, Himself. Also, according to His words, to know Christ is to know His Father. Christ is the way, the bridge to have a relationship with God. To know Christ is to know God. As there are many religions, beliefs, ways of believing in a deity or higher power, all are missing God’s divine truth…

Introduction Prologue I looked beyond the clear dome that sheltered and protected our people for almost two decades. My eight-year-old face pressed against the glass in astonishment. I was thankful that our unit happened to be at the edge of the West Division. I could observe space forever. It boggled my young mind that our dome could levitate. I would examine the planet, Earth. It was the size of a standard grapefruit from the distance. Earth looked depressing. I was glad I didn’t live there.…

yourself, or going home to cook dinner for your family. For the rest of the city, people are just getting up to prepare themselves for night of labor. My favorite photo from the essay has to be of Villavicencio a drag queen that is performing at the Therapy Bar in Manhattan. This type of photo is an action shot that is capturing the action of the audience and Villavicencio. It seems that Villavicencio is singing a song in the picture as the audience is clapping…

The day started the same as any other. The sun was hot, it must have been almost 100 degrees, which isn’t out of the ordinary for Brasil, but on this particular day the heat seemed as though if you threw an egg on the street it would fry right on the pavement. I took my usual route through Bento Rodrigues to get to work. Stopping at the corner store by the farm to get my favorite candy before going to work on the docks. I had stopped there every day for the past seven years before work, it was…

couldn't live without. Vast miles of ocean spread out across the globe. Various creations swimming and growing, only by the power that He can provide. It is an overflow of grace, offering love to people who cannot get it from anywhere else. It is light blue by the shore, yet it seems endless. Ocean as far as the eye can see, comparing to an everlasting love, a love that will never end no matter how far it strays or how vast it becomes. The sky is high, as I look up to it, I am reminded of the…

The weather was fair and the last rays from the sun where casting across the sky. Billy was walking in the park at night when he heard branches snapping in the bushes. Suddenly a massive creature lunged out at him slashing its claws… Billy awoke with a yelp. ‘‘just a dream,’’ he said to himself. It was a nice saturday morning in his cozy little home located in newton kansas. He ate breakfast (which consisted of pancakes and scrambled eggs), got dressed, brushed his teeth and then turned on the…

It was the morning of September the 22th in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee. The tree leaves was just starting to change their colors. I was soon to be married to the love of my life and I was overwhelmed with joy, in thirty minutes to an hour we will finally be husband and wife. Boy how I was wrong! The whole wedding and reception didn’t take almost an hour. It was a small wedding, just close friends and intermediate family only. At most we had twenty five to thirty people…

Leinster approaches the notion of ‘othering’ through the element, vision, and its related elements, light and darkness. According to Dr. Stephen E. Palmer’s textbook Vision Science: Photons to Phenomenology, “vision relies on three basic elements, adaptation, sensitivity, and perception”(5). Eyes adapt to various levels of light in order to sense and perceive any figures within the environment. As light decreases, the eyes adapt up to a point until the range of sensitivity drops to a level that…

I am Scout, I can't move or talk. My brother is Jem, he too can't move or talk. We are soap. We were carved yesterday by Boo Radley. Yesterday, Boo took us out of the upstairs bathroom and brought us downstairs into the kitchen. He grabbed some knives out of the cupboard and took us toward the living room rocking chair. He sat and started to carve me first. I am, of course, made of soap so the process wasn't painful. Boo slowly curved the knife while stopping now and then to recall his memory of…

Almost a year ago, when I was 15, my house was broken into. My parents had given me permission to stay home from school because I was feeling extremely stressed. Instead of going to school, I was to spend the day working from home. Since I hadn’t slept much the night before, I decided to take a quick nap before studying. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to rest for long. I woke up to the sounds of glass breaking and unfamiliar voices yelling across my house. At first I thought it was just a bad…
