.....WHEN SHADOWS FILL OUR DAY ......

....... WHEN SHADOWS FILL OUR DAY .....




 Bocelli
and
 Dion


Lyrics from:
"THE PRAYER"

" ....................  when shadows fill our day ........."

After a few months of Eldon's death in 2009

I watched .... listened to this hauntingly beautiful song for the first time, sung by 

  Celine Dion and

Andrea Bocelli,

I was lost  .... lost as if in the dense forest in a scene 

in the video........

I pictured a forest floor shrouded

in shadows .....

 I'd post a picture of a forest

but I invite you to

close your eyes and

see your own

forest .... through your own

inner sight

where sunlight may never reach except for

slim shafts of light from the opening in the trees high above. 

"........... when shadows fill our day ......."

And yesterday,

July 29, 2011

as I listened and watched

"The Prayer"

for the 100th time

I realized

for shadows to be cast

upon a forest floor

or my life......

the sun

has to be shining!

And reflected onto the

surface of my life

is all the beauty,

drama,

joys and shadows

I've walked through.

Not alone since I was sixteen years old

and not alone now at 71.

"THE SHADOW KNOWS"

If you're very young
you won't have a CLUE
what
  I mean by 

"THE SHADOW KNOWS"


Ask someone old ....


 shadows                                                                            
                                                        shadows                  
                           shadows                                             
                                                             
                                                                            
  shadows                                                           shadows         
                          shadows                                  
                              
If you haven't noticed ......
I'm fascinated by shadows!

However...
after much study
pondering and
deep thought....
I have determined the following:
tree shadows are not green

my little red house shadow is not red

a banana shadow is not yellow

the shadow of a bouquet of purple flowers is not purple

a cloud shadow is not white

However ......
after additional
intense scrutiny and research on this subject,
(Friday  July 29, 2011)
I can expose my findings that .....
a black horse
WILL cast a black shadow.

There are     
 short     
shadows
very small

long                       
ssshhhhadooowwss
very longgggggggggggggggggg
Wherever you are
your shadow is there with you.....
sometimes
hiding

   OTHER TIMES
BIG AND BOLD.

Sometimes you

can

bring along

a friend's

shadow.....

or walk alone

... not really alone because your

shadow is with you.

But when you sit in the shade  of a tree

                 only the tree shadow shows.

Shadows hide
 under bridges and rocks......
but
reflections
enhance
and dance,
shimmer
across
a pond.

How have I never noticed

the dramatic

beauty

yet fragile nature

of

 shadows

and

reflections

reflections?

Reflections in company with

 shadows,

paints a masterpiece

 of the

handiwork of

God!

And when the
sun  sets

shadows  and reflections rest ......

or is that like
when a tree falls in the forest
and nobody's there to hear it
does is still
make a crashing noise?'

With the sunrise
 awakens the morning....

for a new day of

shadows

and

reflections.

in time to help get some gardening done.

The end.

BUT!

If you send me pictures of

 YOUR shadow
or reflections,

(I like to think our children are reflections of us ...)

I'll post them

on my blog...

now that would be fun!

send shadow or
reflection photos to:

mlwidowhelpingotherwidows@gmail.com

FUN!

p.s. Sorry if you get this

more than once....sometimes my shadow makes mistakes or

wants to add to
or edit my blog

 ......

And when my shadow

wants to

become creative .....

I let it!
