surely
the light of the sun
rising higher with each day
will shorten my shadow

Very dark here today- VERY! Difficult to tell the dif between night and day. When the sun does come out I do really LOVE my tall shadow- I want to keep her- I am height challenged.
LOVE the sun shining between the trees- they seem to be loving it as well.
And your days will grow warmer, Steven, as mine grow colder.
goodness - you've captured beauty and yearning in one spectacular photo and 15 words!
surely.
linda sue the sun has been clear first thing int he morning and so there's sweet soft colours and mistiness. then as it rises higher the sky fills and the sun hides somehwere way up there. i like to play with shadows. see what they'll do. steven
elisabeth - enjoy the flowers and the leaves. steven
pauline - sometimes i tame my slight verbosity for the sake of the reader! you've got better things to be doing!! steven
ellen - thanks for the vote of support!! steven
Yes it will steven - the opposite of my aros the other day when I pointed out the a low sun makes long shadows.
Your shadow may shorten, Steven, but I think your own light shines further evry day...
weaver thats so true!! steven
jinksy thankyou for your very kind comment! steven
Love the title to this post and the shining hope represented by the photo and the words.
Surely, indeed.
Thank you for this beautiful photograph Steven. It brightened my morning.
So few words; such a profound post.
jo i know that i cast shadows as far as i can cast light. being aware of that and sensitive to the effects of both is tied hand-in-hand with their creation. thanks for your kind comment. steven
joanna - there's a fair bit of light being shared around the blogosphere these past few days. those in the northern hemisphere are all too aware of the dance we're dancing!! steven
thankyou very much aguja! steven
It'll surely wil! lovely pic, Steven
I have nothing better to do than read your blog - not that you have to write extensively every day. Even with just a few words you say so much.
Yes surely your shadow will shorten!
I have never thought about that.. this clearly depicts the idea that all good things are balanced by some bad.. I guess it depends on what you think about your shadow.
great read
- Sy
dulce - thankyou. steven
sy - welcome! there's always a place of equilibrium but it's not always where the growth takes place. the dance backwards and forwards between light and dark, good and bad and all the other binary pieces is a starting place for figuring out so much. steven
reya - i've been reading (for the umpteenth time) robert bly;'s book " a little book on the human shadow". it'll have crossed your path somewhere sometime. it showed up here in this little post. in addition to all the light of the world there are some long shadows. i own a few. steven
Beautiful. Our ever shortening shadows ... what an evocative poetic reflection that says so much, so quietly.
And our short shadows will soon, hopefully, sprout bicycle wheels!
