We should always keep the light shining in our hearts, or the darkness will consume us. Tom

It always there, we just forget it sometimes, or don't have the courage to face it at times. Thanks for the comment, Tom. Just something that struck me as intriguing, so I gave it a try. Cheers, my friend. Bill

love the metaphor here with its strong message. I think we can all become 'shadowy' at times when we block out our own personal light. Well done, hugs, Me

I agree, Sara. That can happen at times. Thanks for the comment, Bill
