White Bread Face

Remember Wonder Bread? Yeah, you've probably heard stories about it...go with me on this one...
And remember how we'd pull away the bread with our little fingers to make holes for eyes and mouth?

And then we'd hold our bread face up to the light and marvel at the brilliance of our handiwork. And then roll it up hard and tight into a ball and pop it into our mouths and wash it down with a big gulp of milk?

Oh how the world looked for a child through the eyes of a white bread face.

At meeting the other day, I saw it differently. The bread was held up to the light, like I did as a child but this time it was the tiny holes around the 3 holes I made that were streaming light. The light exaggerated the texture of white bread. The soft, tiny and delicate perforations, that covered the perfect snow white surface, front and back. the light softly meandered through at different angles, rarely did the light go straight through. I marveled at the translucent quality of light as well as the diffused light surrounding the 3 big holes.
