If I was my shadow
I would…
Laugh harder, dance freely, sing louder, live bravely.
Hold my head high
Speak with more confidence
Keep my shoulders back and my back straight.
Sing in the rain, run with the wind, bask in the sun.
Greet strangers,
Try new styles,
Taste new foods,
Initiate conversations,
Think better of people,
Pursue my dreams until I can’t possibly follow them anymore,
Focus on heaven, rather than earth.

Still am challenged by that…and realize our shadow is only a reflection of US! So why should we not live this way? Why indeed, by the grace of God and God’s grace.

You are more than a formless Shadow.. look to the warmth of the fire and please do sing louder, stand erect, take risks with your emotions and eat new foods, dance new dances… the source of light will free you from the prison of the mind and empower you to love others to the Cross of Christ through eating their foods, dancing their dances and singing their songs and ultimately and wholly speaking their language(s).
All this is related to CS Lewis and Plato’s Allegory of The Republic..of the chained prisoners in the cave..
We are free in Christ..
