A mere Shadow of Myself

November 18 at Where Shadows grow tall

Before all else my son, remember that old sins cast long shadows exactly where ignorance is bliss, then it is folly to be wise, especially with that old enemy, time, it flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind. shadows we walk in them we form them we run from them we fear them we identify with them we shape them we try to hide them we ignore them and most of the time we don’t remember them but when was the last time that you looked at your shadow observed it gave it some attention conversed with it complemented it we treat our shadows with great disrespect and disdain which is sprung forth from our ignorance and unfamiliarity of our shadows so what i suggest to remedy this great injustice is to advise you all to get to know your shadows better talk to them go out on a date with them treat them to something nice and remember Shakespeare said it already in a midnight summers dream If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended— That you have but slumbered here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend. If you pardon, we will mend. And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long. Else the Puck a liar call. So good night unto you all. Give me your hands if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.
