When the shadow lengthens
When the shadow lengthens
in front of me, I know that there is light behind me. The longer the shadow, the farther the source
of light. Perhaps I need to pause a
while or even walk back a little so that the light draws nearer.
Perhaps there is no going
back. It’s a one way traffic, isn’t
it? The shadow will only grow
longer. We are but dust and shadow, as
Horace declared. What is needed is a
discovery of the beauty of the shadow.
