Lurking in the shadows is what we have forgotten. Everywhere we go it fallows us. On the brightest days it show its self, and we will ignore it only to laugh at it in the end. Our shadow has many faces, many which are untold. When you see your shadow, your belief is it’s a reflection, but a reflection of what? Of you, or of your past? We try to justify our shadow being from the suns rays, but could it really be something else? For a moment stop, look and think, every time you look, your outline is different. Your outline of yourself to the outline of your distinct shadow which follows you everywhere.

We all have many followers, from what you see today, may not be what you see tomorrow. Our shadow is the same as us, we as well have many faces. Have you took the time to hear the story behind what follows us? I mean the shadow, the shadow can tell many stories, about us as we can to someone else. For every time you stop to look at it, it as well is looking at you. Is our shadow a distinction of light, or could be a lingering past that we carry?

The old saying, you can tell what someone is about by impressions, our shadow spends eternity with us unwillingly and unknowingly about it self. For every day that passes we try to study science wanting to know the unknown, as well as our followers.  No one has ever stopped to think that the things that surround us have a story to tell too. Something as small as shadow, can tell of deception, happiness, betrayal, past, and maybe even of our future.

We rush our daily lives, we push through just so we can redo it the next day. We as people have forgotten those precious thing as well as those small things that make us. Since life has begun, we have been taught about nature, science, history, religion and right from wrong, but anywhere in there have you been told that if you listen to nature it will guide you, just as if you looked for the north star to find your way home. Have you been camping without the camper? Have you sat there and just listened, listened to the callings, to the trees?  For every log cabin we build we take away from animals and their homes, we slowly take away from ourselves the oxygen we use. We don’t just extinct animals we are doing it to ourselves. For everything we have taken for granted as well as for greed is becoming extinct as we unknowingly accept the way things are.  It’s so easy to get wrapped up in our daily lives we forget the everything else and ignore the problems that exist and that it is only ignorance of society to forget we are here to preserve our planet, so that we can survive as one. As the prayer goes United we stand.

How though, I ask, can we stand united as one, if we can’t as two? As for our shadow, these are the untold stories that lye within us.
