Today’s photo is brought to you by a seemingly mundane Sunday afternoon at the Chicago Art Institute. A stray sun beam and a total stranger came together to help create this moment. It’s truly extraordinary in an everyday ordinary kind of way.

Today’s bonus photo is from a gymnasium bathroom in Kansas City. The location may seem mundane, but the occasion (as the expertly tossed petals and mirror art may suggest) most certainly was not.

If you still need a little something to brighten your day, picture a grown woman—in full hair and makeup, wearing a jumpsuit, and in four-inch heels—crouching in a bathroom in order to get the perfect shot of a sunbeam. (Pure dignity and poise, always)

Okay, that’s all I have for you. Be brave, look for the light, be the light, and, as always, be kind.
