When you think about it, what is a shadow after all? It is the reflection of something that exists at that moment in time punctuated by the sunlight of our soul ... kind of like the negative produced by ancient technology when cameras were the event recorder "de jour".
As I look back my shadows are in fact not only moments in time but they are also the structural matter that has glued my life together. They existed once upon a time but they still exist as impressions of our lives; impressions that will never leave us for better or worse; impressions that are intricately apart of our very souls, and can live forever.
In our day to day existence in the universal muttle we can sometimes fail to realize the importance of our participation in this cosmic plazma. Our individual monitors - the very screens on which our lives are projected - can be either realized or ignored.
Today I saw so many shadows that they kind of overwhemed me ... shadows of past, present and future events that made me both happy and sad, joyous and glad, but ultimately content in the knowlege that my life has been so full.
When we reflect on our lives, I think perhaps the most important thing to remember is that they are only there because we remember them ... should we not remember than they will forget too.
The cosmos is a magical place ... I have found it a special place. It is a place of both shadows and sunlight, it is a place of eternal delight if we want it to be so.
So what have I learned today? Maybe the fact that yesterday was shadow and today is sunlight but tomorrow is a rememberance of both and therefore the culmination of it all ...
