Carol DM
My shadow follows me, every direction
Giving me a choice to be, where I need to be
Discovering a direction, that looks beyond a moment of bliss
A freedom to be anywhere, anytime
Sometimes walking behind me, in front of me, and often beside me
With a moment, that captivates my eye
As I stroll along life’s path, without regrets, as my shadow becomes my friend
Looking ahead of me, to see what is coming towards me
At times, I have to step to the right, step to the left, turn around to start from the beginning… with my shadow and me.

There is so much to learn in life, one can never know it all. I love this photo.
The magic of his day goes by. One of the great Bulgarian Peter Deunov: The one who is looking for the short and easy way in life is looking for the meaningless path. The meaningful path is the long road. The living person in nature has a long, even limitless path. And hurry to get to the end quickly, remember that it is the beginning of another journey that is perfect. If you are born with the thought that you will come to an end, it is like reaching a height and then returning to people and showing how much you know.
Such powerful words my friend. That you so much for sharing this, I needed to read these words more than you know.
at least your shadow doesn’t try to bail on you, like Peter Pan’s did…
You make a good point as always.
of course, the Ascians get along just fine without shadows
It is never a problem to chase your shadow. Only to catch it!
Great poem Carol, really love the imagery and heart felt words!
Thanks Doc, just thoughts I had while watching the sunset. It seemed to talk to me. 🙂
I have that feeling, often watching the sunset or sunrise.

I definitely believe in signs all around me.
there are signs everywhere, we just have to know to look!
Wonderful sunset, dear Carol … life is the way you arrange … it is true that sometimes there are also surprises
Thank you Lado, it seemed to speak to me.
One could think of that too, dear friend
In fact life is the bank of opportunists
Sort of like an open book, thanks for that thought.
Life is a mystery that is to be enjoyed.
Yes you are so right, thank you.

Thank you. This was a very dark sunset as you can see, taken from my deck. Reminded of shadow thoughts I have from time to time.
