SHADOW!

Shadow: a patch of shade; a dark figure projected by anything which intercepts rays of light

Shadow: the darker, less-illuminated part of a picture

Shadow: an inseparable companion; a ghost

Shadow: a phantom

"To shadow": to cast a shadow over; to outline

Shadow: shadow; moving shadow

The first few steps

The first few words

The first moment, when a line crosses a line, and suddenly you can never stop seeing

These changes

Seeing more. Seeing less. Seeing better. Seeing worse

But seeing is the first stone in the pond

And as the ripples spread, they alter everything they touch fundamentally

Everything takes on meaning: a look, a touch, a motion, a sign

All seeds growing

Seeds that never stop growing, because you just never can stop them

How can that be explained?

Think of the one thing that you've always wanted

Then think of it existing within you as a part of every day

Like breathing

Then think of the breathing as a living thing, that begins to change and then it disappears

And then what?

Once you get it, what then?

You just go on and on until you become what you always were...

SHADOW!!
