SHADOW PLAY AT THE PARK

The essence of excitement is enthusiasm--whose root meaning is quite profound: "moved by something extraordinary, even divine."

Today, I was moved by the play of shadows on every-day things I saw as I walked in the park. The shadow play on these things thrilled me and got me excited. 

Take a stand for a life that's got some juiciness in it!!

SHADOWS

Acorn on table..a meal perhaps?

Two acorns oppose, each in their tracks.

  

What was once up is down...a tree nonetheless?

Which leaf do I pick up, which leaf is the best?

This tractor is silent while sun starts to flee.

A bench? A table? Which do you see?

A shadow, a sign, waiting for me.

The fence in the shadows still keeps me at bay.

The shadow of bench allows me to stay.
