My life’s mission —
To explore & illuminate the beauty of creation
A riddle written by Austin, age 8 — What is it?
You can't pick it up but you can bounce it.It can be soft or hard.You can't hold it but you can write with it.It can be black, white or any color.It weighs nothing but you can sharpen it and cut through steel with it.You can bend it but you can't break it.You can't hear it but it can make your voice heard all the way across the ocean.You can't see it but you can't see anything without it.Some of the smartest people in the world have studied it their whole lives and they still don't know what it is.
It is light.
