home and zoetropes

one of my favourite things to do is to sleep or rest in the sun, i don't mean to sunbathe but to feel the worth of the sun on my face and see the light through my closed eye lids. i feel great comfort and peace. sometimes i can see patterns in my eye lids, it's a particular favourite on a moving train with the sun coming through the trees and the trees changing the shape of the light that hits my eyes and my eyes creating a visual story like a moving image, it makes me think of a zoetrope.
