More From Rumi

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

Out of the fragrant heart of bloom, the bobolinks are singing; out of the fragrant heart of bloom the apple-tree whispers to the room, "why art thou but a nest of gloom while the bobolinks are singing?

Like wind-- in it, with it, of it. of it just like a sail, so light and strong that, even when it is bent flat, it gathers all the power of the wind without hampering its course. like light-- in light, lit through by light, transformed into light. like the lens which disappears in the light it focuses. like wind. like light. just this--on these expanses, on these heights.

"it is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. it is light i "listen" to. the light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. after sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. i see magic in the quiet light of dusk. i feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. a sense of magic prevails. a sense of mystery. it is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs. "

But i have a problem with the term 'light'. i never in my life knew what to do with that. i know that people have mentioned on some occasions that 'richter is all about light', and that 'the paintings have a special light', and i never knew what they were talking about. i was never interested in light. light is there and you turn it on or you turn it off, with sun or without sun. i don't know what the 'problematic of light' is. i take it as a metaphor for a different quality, which is similarly difficult to describe. good.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
