Shadows
The saying "Afraid of your own shadow" took on a whole new meaning today. We took by grandson to a local park, where the children are allowed to ride their bikes on a now abandoned net ball field. Well he never rode his bike, he discovered his shadow. At first he was rather frightened, and was trying to run away, then he was trying to shake the shadow off his foot, but after awhile he was running with his shadow and was having a whole load of fun together. He played with his shadow for over an hour before the novelty wore off.
It really got me wondering how often we are afraid of something, how often we allow shadows to control the situation, instead of learning to live with the shadow, how often do we live with our shadows, thinking they are to horrific, to devastating, to ugly so we hide in the darkness..... where as if we just realised we are never going to run away from then, we are never going to shake them off......... so lets just learn to play with them and move on
Hi Karen, it so nice having you drop by for a visit on my blog. It's been a while. I have missed you.
ReplyDeleteYour grandson and his shadow post is just adorable. The grandkids grow up so fast especially when we haven't seen them for a few months. they They really brighten our world.
We lost our oldest daughter Nicole after a brief illness and I miss her so much still. I'm so glad that I always said I love you to her every time we either email or spoke.
Take care and stay well.
Hugs, Julia
