Light On The Threshold, Shifting

Canaletto, The Grand Canal and the Church of the Salute [Venice], (1730)

Vermeer, View of Delft, (c. 1660)
Daylight savings time...the clock somersaults, the light streams at a different angle, the motes float lazily in new-remembered shadows...
Everyone out this afternoon enjoying the precursor of spring...I look at the sky, recalling the vernal blue we have otherwise misplaced for half a year...I look at the sky hovering so close above the towers and spires of the city...I am linked in this way back to other springs in other places, a soul wandering back along a track observed and painted by others before me...Daniel A. Rabuzzi is author of the fantasy novel "The Choir Boats," available from ChiZine Publications in September 2009.
"The Choir Boats" explores issues of race, gender, sin, and salvation, and includes a mysterious letter, knuckledogs, carkodrillos, smilax root,
goat stew, and one very fierce golden cat.
