Catching a Glance of My Shadow's Center
My shadow follows me, carrying a deep truth far from the edges.
The edges that define my shadow distract me from the interior.
I have spent years exploring my shadow, nearly all of them at the edges.
To date I have only caught a glance at shadow's center.
Constantly I have been pulled to the edges.
I have discovered cultural stories, familiar mythology, and personal wounds.
At these edges I have found more than enough to explain it all.
Yet I know there is more to my shadow that these edges.
I continue to explore, that I might better know myself.
I hope and pray that one day I will catch more than glance of my shadow's center.
...and I am afraid. Most of all when I won't admit it to myself.
