Shadows

I've been thinking about shadows.

What if crossing over to the dark side means sitting in the shade? What if crossing over means only that you have your feet on the ground and connected to those feet are a cartoon replica of your body shooting along the ground to your side?

Actually, don't we all have two shadows? The shady side of our bodies is one dark side, and the cast shadow is another. If you look carefully, the same happens on the light side (the painter's eye sees this): the illuminated side casts a bright "reflection" on the ground. So, there's the body of us, the shady side, and the shadow, along with our bright side and the glow.

Finding the good and bad is never really so easy as black and white, is it? Which leads me to the question: if transcending duality means integrating opposites, what is the higher view of having a light and a dark side? What is the transcendent view of good vs. evil?

So far, I've come up with one answer: change. Change means that we transition, from night to day to night, from shade to light to shadow, turning, moving, changing.

How about that?
