Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all. - John Lennon A perfect quote for a beautiful issue. Within these pages are the reflections of over fifty poets and photographers whose work, while very personal will touch all of us. This is one of the wonderful things about being an artist. We have the ability to use our creativity to impact the lives and perceptions of people, no matter where they are in the world. What an incredible power. Enjoy this issue and through your own reflection, connect with the pages within. Thank you for your support of Light.
