although we have been made to believe
that if we let go
we will end up with nothing,
life itself reveals again and again
the opposite:
that letting go is the path to real freedom.

no shadows around today.
today is colors of gray.
but a shadow is a shadow
even if it's borrowed from another day.
you will find sun and shadows at
we play every week.
what will you be letting go of today?
just BE.

Borrowed or not, it's a comfortable shadow - I could sit happily at that table.
ReplyDeleteGreat post for the day even without shadows! None here either and right now it looks as though there won't be any for the next ten days! Hopefully, the weathermen with be as mistaken as they usually are!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend anyway, Robin!

I believe that quote is true. But I still need to stop collecting things, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteLove the quote and your words. Sometimes it is good to just BE.

Very nice. I like the simplicity of this, and the depth of field.
ReplyDeleteEach breath expelled from a dreamers lips is absorbed into the universe, moving forward into the future, yet shared with every single living being on this beautiful blue orb...so the letting go is a shared experience, never to be lost in our souls and life essence.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderfully shared experience this gloomy Autumn weekend, after all, we have Tilda's adventures to keep us smiling...LOL!!!

A shadow is a shadow, from simple furniture to a complex shaped shrub. We need light to make a shadow, and the filtered light here is soft, as is the shadow. Finely captured as always!

ReplyDeleteOnce again, beautiful colors and texture.
ReplyDeleteI love the weathered, silver wood!
