OUR SHADOWS
The sun and moon may seem like polar opposites but similarities abound…
They’re both round, inhabitants of the sky and they both cast shadows on the ground.
They are both bright, share their light…each one rises and each one sets
and it’s only under their light we discover our changing shadows and shifting silhouettes.
The shadows they cast are sometimes tall…sometimes wide…in the wind they dance a beautiful ballet…every now and then they hide…we can watch them fade away.
Is this just another example of the scope of Mother Nature’s reach…
or could this be another lesson she’s subtly trying to teach?
Yes Mother Nature is amazing…her wisdom continues to astound…
as she reminds us how the light we share casts our shadows on the ground.
If we are blessed enough to be the light in someone’s life…
then how long that light will last…
depends a great deal…on the shadows that we cast.
Sometimes the shadows we cast on others need to be tall…sometimes wide…
sometimes they need to be short…sometimes they need to hide.
Shadows tall and wide…willing to walk with us when we need a smile, a laugh or shed a tear…shadows that know when they’re not needed and silently disappear.
Shadows cast from our light…
meant to enhance our friends's and family’s beautiful ballets…
Shadows we hope they will long remember…
long after our shadow fades away.
