There once was an invisible man
whose shadow walked alongside him
with impeccable commitment.
Yet, every night,
his shadow was released and
would wander where it willed.
Filling himself of half-empty desires,
the shadow would dutifully return
to his master every morning.
The man would continue to walk
the next day, never realizing that
neither him, nor his shadow
were ever hidden.
Maze of Musings
"Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an an enormous reward. You will have created something." – Kurt Vonnegut
