Why Shadows



'If God created shadows, it was to better emphasize the light.'

St. Pope John Paul II

  1. I like this, Nancy, and I also like that, if we're walking in the right direction, we can see glimpses of light through the shadows.

    It's such a beautiful picture, too :-)

  2. Living on a hilltop..I often watch the cloudy shadows swimming over our town and it always strikes me..how beautiful it looks from above! The inter-play of light and dark reveals things in the landscape..things which are hidden from the eye when there is only light, or only dark covering it.
    And there's always a feeling of triumph and a certain lifting of the spirit when the sun highlights something I've never "seen" before..though I look at the same vista every day.
    A perpetual visual lectio.. right before my eyes!
