Without darkness there will be no light. With out light there will be no shadows. With out shadows there will be no reflection. For reflections are just our shadows in light that hides our darkness.

Re: Shadows
Mon, June 1, 2009 - 3:58 AM"under the shadows of rescue" is lyricked by Bob Marley in Hallelujah Time off of Burning..."as we go singing, by & by." There is a book about a this Polish reporters travels in Africa, it is called something interesting implying that the sun has its own shadow, as in something even brighter casts its rays upon a subject sun. I thought about this with a measure of asceticism, and that we can be converged upon by greater things than ourselves...ultimate realities are giving us context & awareness all the time, then "reason" shines a brighter light than the material objectivity we see in the suns immanence. Or rather if we have cosmic consciousness, it emanates from even more immense distances than our claim of even our own sun.

Re: Shadows
Mon, June 1, 2009 - 6:49 AMI once characterized a watchmen over my domicile as a shadowy persona, while dreaming of my repose in dream-state. So, there over against the wall adjacent to my bed was an officer-like guy, like he'd been this hold-out for my feeling that these conscious barriers manifestly the sense of a kind of power-spot in which I lived, were dissipating. -

Mon, June 1, 2009 - 7:44 AMSorry, but i find this very elementary, in the line of: without murderers there cannot be cadavers.
It is redundant logic and I've really grown beyond "The shadow" in that sense.
There are things that we do not need.
Just awaken yourself by your own volition.
It will be better for you and for the rest of the world. -

Re: Shadows I AM WITH IT MATHU--no fear
Mon, June 1, 2009 - 9:03 AMJust because SHADOWS are an old theme to some, just tells me it is part of a bigger pattern, I myself am not afraid to be STILL indicated by. Rather than being strident to hear what you want someone to express, try hearing their motive, and it will set you free from the bondage of caprice. **Here IS THE KICKER**YOU'LL notice that even in my ideal that I raise in high esteem about this elusive experience of shadows, I AM still addressing it as something as mundane as YOU please. Meaning, again, no matter the lethargy of said empirical value, I am still willing to be subject to
the IDEAL circumstance.
The minor hikes I took thru my neighborhood of my growing-up, took me through Beaumont park, a place of a lot of my changes--where I'd go and read and find reprieve under the boughs of maples, next to an old cistern. On thru the park, sometimes in a few hesitant moments, my only accompaniment was my shadow--and it felt less than auspicious because I had already filtered out self-INflection from the earthy loam of my empty cast in waves of bluegrass. So, what my mind did gather was lighted boundaries around my physical cast upon the ground, around the eyes too!!--yet the rest of the black pith of self was gray grass tethered to what I so vaguely wanted to transcend... -

Re: Shadows I AM WITH IT MATHU--no fear
Tue, June 2, 2009 - 10:51 AMI've always found it amazing, inexplicable, that even a tiny fragile thing like a mimosa leaf or a butterfly wing can create an absolute barrier to the powerful light of the sun. Which is the most powerful thing on the planet, I think. Yet they do. That little density and oof! light stopped in its tracks. -

Re: Shadows

I am thinking, what is the shadow of the sun--meaning is something more immense making the sun cast its own shadow. I feel that this is obe of my better prose pieces: it is what I do, no vocation in it--the science is literary. Don't take this as a biblical traditionalist perspective, rather, I am taking back the language of the Literalist.
What we experience above the sun is hasidus, an immanent release we feel from loving-kindness. There is futilty below it. This isn't a consignment of flowery talk just to embrace pathlessness==a letting-go! The probably first empirical enumeration we would not have avoided, was the sun as the healer...of woes, brings us into transition. A Polish author's book about travels in Africa, he as a reporter in the mid-20th century, has a title implying quite oppositely what the implications of what our early life contended. The sun may cast shadows, but what is the shadow OF the sun caused by? Just to jump ship and remit everything to G-d exiles you from reason, as the imagination's narrative is our point of reference in having faith. Again, if you jump ship, didn't you see the fall on the way down... Observable Release, or more conventionally "rational thought" is become your mystical endeavor. Don't say, ahh but you have to have faith, that you won't drown. I'd ask what of faith was in your mind as you fell prone? "We screw the sun just for fun, we paint the moon mystically true," as Linton Kwesi Johnson the Immanent reggae poet relates. Out west about 40 minutes N.E. of sin city, was the park Valley of Fire, & it was slightly too juxtaposed with the closeness of Las Vegas and vast population, that it then seemed to me the stone(s) were tarried... This is the desert under the sun's worst prowess: 4000 yrs of habitation, yet this world seemed incinerated. The stone was something alluring, & easily answered for (social), like I wanted to find a key to the pre-historicity of our reception into the emptiness of those desert pallets showing Indians' past. ...But I wanted to find it and not deny it while comforted from being off the road, letting my thoughts revolve in urban containment. This sounds like a defense of my not knowing a motive into the attiqa--a Hebrew word suggesting G-d's unfinished beginnings...the slow unfurling of the godhead, where our examples lie like seferot, energies, or attributes, say the cosmogony of Beauty. The instincts I'd want to assume (having that motive) about the Natives having been received unto this material dispensation--the light of his or her beginnings hopefully understood, are my rational bent to look at some sensed image of where we can touch the earth. So, man's nature--nature et al is found even perhaps in urban ubiquitous devolution. Though lives barely indicate what changes I'd propitiate, I am yet determined to trial my agonistic knowledge... In other words, who can I compete with, if the quiet has no face--as I'd reject civilization sooo proximal. The sun blinds, its shadow is denied...what would it have been cast upon & be seen? -

Re: Shadows
Tue, July 7, 2009 - 4:27 AMHmmm ... color of shadows. That's an interesting question. Metaphorical maybe, but interesting.
Maybe the color of shadows varies with mood? Season of the year? World events?
