Would that life were like the shadow cast by a wall or a tree, but it is like the shadow of a bird in flight.

Haggadah, Palestinian Talmud

  2. I have this quote somewhere in my notes or past blog post or somewhere-- it is so familiar to me I love it... so simple and yet profound.

  3. This is so true; life moves too quickly, as the shadow of a bird!

  4. It is comforting to know that wisdom has been around for eons. But I wonder why we try so hard to be the shadow of the wall or tree and seek assurances of permanence in this life or any imagined other!
