A Bedside Beacon

I brought the wooden clothespin inside before the patio cooled down. Sitting on the low wooden shelf near the bedside lamp, I unclipped the feather and set it safely beside my matchbox. On the shelf was a little glass marble that rolled when my shoe bumped it. I caught it with my foot and tested propping it in the clothespin's notched jaws. It squeezed right around the round glass. When the lamp's amber bulb glowed through it, the marble threw a soft, swirling ring of green light across the wooden boards. I leaned against a stacked paperback to watch the circle shimmer. #Littleplanet #Woodenclothespin #Marbleball #Matchbox #Canada
