Recently it was said that what people fear most is being alone with their thoughts. That is no different than being afraid of your shadow!
Every where you go there it is,
yet it is a shadow, a phantom, nothing but an effect of the time being,
an unreal, ever changing shadow of another shadow, beyond the shadow is the real.
Look there!
At high noon it is gone,
on a dark moonless night it is no more.
Why concern yourself with what is temporary and ever changing?
Just let it be, there is no point.
The time being is life,
Wondrous as life is, the sun
illuminating the path and giving life to the time being,
you foolishly waste time fearing your shadow?
The wise trust in life and know to
use the shadow to tell them
where in the time being they are!
What is there beyond this momentary shadow, beyond thought?
Your very nature, pure and perfect.
