Walking back from breakfast today (which was really just minutes ago) I had the sun at my back. It was warm out with a nice breeze, clear blue sky, and all in all a perfect day to enjoy nature. When I looked down, I saw my shadow extending about six feet in front of me. And in the middle of this incredible gift of nature, I realized something: I really like my shadow.
Its the most immediate and tangible example of my impact on the world. Even people who are thought to have nothing, and thought to have accomplished nothing in their lives, always have their shadows. Its a reminder that we do matters, and that we do have an impact on the world. That gives me a sense of comfort, which I had never seen in my shadow before.
