Lamp shadows

A metal lamp casts morning shadows, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Every morning shadow
Clinging to the wall
Adds a touch of splendor
Summer, spring or fall.

Star shadows

Shadows from star-shaped lights cling to a casita wall, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Star-shaped are the shadows
Clinging to the wall;
Great would be the darkness
If the stars should fall!

Mummified forever

The mummy of a 70-year-old woman, Museo de las Momias de Guanajuato, Mexico

Mummified forever—
Do I frighten you?
My life's a reminder:
Yours will soon be through!

Shadows in the Rubble

Shadows in a ruined building, El Charco del Ingenio, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Shadows in the rubble,
Scattered on the floor,
Looking for an exit,
Searching for a door!

Hungry Shadows

Shadows seem to devour a door in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Hungry are the shadows,
Gathered at the door,
Gobbling up the woodwork,
Gulping more and more!

Little Street of Shadows

Shadowy street, Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, Mexico

Little street of shadows,
Do you have a name?
If your shadows vanished,
Would you be the same?

Giant Bells

Holiday decorations, Zacatecas, Mexico

Giant bells are ringing
Through the city streets,
Calling merrymakers
With their joyful beats.

Shadowy Amphitheatre

Abandoned amphitheatre, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

no strutting players
mumbling their memorized lines
only one hand claps

The Shadow Dance

A shadowy street scene in Zacatecas, Mexico

Along old walls shadows dance,
Not in Germany or France,
But in sunny Mexico—
See them prancing to and fro!

TAKE AIM AT THE SHADOWS!

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.
- Nelson Mandela (1918-

Let's Take a Shadow Walk!

A section of the perilously steep Paseo de Bufa, Zacatecas, Mexico


Steeper and higher
we follow shadowy paths,
journeying toward light.

TAKE AIM AT THE SHADOWS!



“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”
Gautama Siddhartha, 563-483 B.C.
