It will miss the sun...but not search ....becos ...shadows had no ways to search ...it were being make by the light ....it is being controlled and no power to control ...
i am a painter who began my career as a child coloring outside the lines of my coloring books. i am a writer who started out by composing adventure stories while riding my stick horse around the backyard. as a child, i got in trouble for asking too many questions...i question that.
"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

So what will i see at my feet, if i walked in the moonlight ??
stars?
what would you see?
I see purely shadows of my own self that the street light reflect :)...
will your shadow be searching for the sun?
Are you planning to walk on the clouds, no matter where you are?
It will miss the sun...but not search ....becos ...shadows had no ways to search ...it were being make by the light ....it is being controlled and no power to control ...
if it misses the sun, might it have some aspect of the sun within, reminding the shadow of the sun without?
r, i do like that concept! i could walk on the ground and float on the grass....!
