entry smash 354: reaching for the rope

did you ever consider the fact that shadows can't really do stuff, and they don't really have fun.

i was out walking on the rugged terrain of the coastal rocks late in the afternoon last fall. as i was standing on a ridge the low sun projected my shadow down and across to a fairly vertical wall of rock. there happened to be a rope fastened to the rock for small boats to use instead of an anchor or mooring

try as it may my shadow was unable to grasp the rope. i started feeling sorry for the the poor thing. it must have been disappointed inside but it never showed any sign of it.

and in the next moment it was proving to me that it could not just walk on water, but dance on it

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
