Shadows: a reflection

                     Shadows?





You
say you
feel
your life
is
simply
a
shadow
cast upon 
the
wall of
time,
without meaning
or purpose,
a
random occurrence
without form,
just
function?
But ask yourself
are you seeing 
truly?
So,
look deeper brother,
look deeper sister,
what is a 
shadow 
but
a revelation
of where the 
light
is 
already 
resting?
Your body,
stardust,
forged in the heart
of a 
fire aeons
old.
Not one 
atom of 
your existence
lives 
now
that did 
not also
then
see
the vast 
distances 
of space,
did not
fall through
the long generations 
of
ancestors,
or pass 
through 
many shapes,
on its journey
to bestow 
the form
your senses
perceive as
solid,
a form 
called 
to dwell 
and 
dance 
with 
Divine breath 
in its 
making of 
your marvel 
and your
shadow
until its covenant,
dissolved by
death,
liberates 
love.
Look deeper brother.
Look deeper sister.
You see 
out of infinite 
possibility
you exist.
You.
Here.
Now.
For now 
would be
incomplete 
without
you;
your reason for 
being
passing beyond 
all causes
to the One 
who 
intended 
you
and made you
necessary,
whose love 
attends 
your being,
moment 
by 
moment,
in-breathing love
lest you fall 
away 
into
nothingness.
No 
shadow 
you,
but a 
place 
of 
graced luminosity
so bright
that dazzled by 
your own 
form
your inner eye 
sees, 
for now, 
only 
darkness
describing
a point
of light 
so bright
that Divine Love
dims vision
until 
you are 
ready
to turn
from 
shaped shadows
and face
fully
the brightness
of 
your own
blessed
being.
