When living light is blocked, we become as insubstantial as a shadow... ! A very meaningful piece of verse... ! Blessings Bill !

"form without substance" - I feel I get here sometimes also.

It seems we may be changing back and forth more than we realize. We are very small pieces of creation and the universe. Take care of yourself my friend. Bill

Wow! I totally agree with this. Grief, depression, and greed and pride etc.. can block the light.

Just wow...occasionally I'm guilty of blocking the light and become a form without substance, without joy, without purpose, etc. Thank you for capturing so succinctly.
