Black and White Wednesday ~ Shadow

"We are shaped by our thoughts;

we become what we think.

When the mind is pure,

joy follows like a shadow that never leaves."

Buddha

52 years ago a little girl played with her shadow

by the edge of the deep blue sea.

And her daddy took a photo.
I look at her tonight,
and dare to think that even now
{all these many years later}
 it's possible to still experience more moments of
this pure, playful innocence .
