The Shadow Knows

'Sun Rising'
Everywhere I look, I see them.
In the booth next to me...standing in line...crossing the street. Their more then just vague images that are here one minute and gone the next. They are memories...still very much alive in my mind.

My family lived in Hong Kong for many years and every time my husband and I go back for a visit, we see shadows from our life everywhere we turn.

Some find these 'shadows' of the past haunting...always popping up to remind us of days gone bye. But I think of them as small sketches of something bigger, larger then just single isolated strokes in time.

The sun rises and shines its light on another day as I take a closer look at the Grand canvas of my life...wondering just how much color I've applied to it...is there any depth at all...have I taken any risks...is there purpose?

Reevaluating whats on the palette...will the moments the sun shines upon today become the lasting shadows that reach into tomorrow...and will they make a difference?
