“And this I know: whether the one True Light,
Kindle to Love, or Wrath consume me quite,
One Glimpse of It within the Tavern caught
Better than in the Temple lost outright.”
Omar Khayyamtr. Edward FitzGerald, 1859
Reflection · Autumn 1404
The True Light in autumn is the amber light of Mehr — lower, warmer in color, the light that makes everything look like it is briefly on fire before going out. This is the autumn glimpse: not the full summer blaze but the glimpse of something essential. Whether it kindles to love or wrath — autumn makes the question less hypothetical. The Light's attitude toward you becomes more visible in autumn.
The Tavern where the glimpse is caught is this specific Mehr afternoon, this exact amber light. Catch it.
