Chacachacare Saturday 3
folks keep saying to me "you tell us about more photos but we cant find them"; so here's what i have edited and named all associated photos 'Chacachacare Saturday', for easy reach
shadows? Questions? I guess we are entitled to and responsible for carrying only one shadow, and if that becomes a question mark; need to sit with Providence/God to understand -- mostly the answer clears....all other shadows turn their way, or leave us behind, or we leave them when the call comes from top, :)
Okay i's about to reach here to say about our responsibility towards partners, children, parents, family, society -- yes it is only applicable as much as it is applicable -- sometimes thinking of my old mother, i wish i could leave my husband here and go and live with her -- But more than my husband, who doesn't like the idea of me staying away for long, my mother itself is the one, who is particular that i must stay with him here -- but who knows who will outlive whom, if you were to see through it --
there's a question which we were offered during a management course -- it is this
if a man is to save only one -- when he, his wife, mother or daughter were all drowning in water, and the man alone knew swimming, whom should he be saving?
some said mother, the other's said daughter...very few said wife (the reason obviously being he could marry again -- though the thought is creepy, that is what some boys and girls said,
between mother and daughter, it was decided that daughter had to be saved -- the discussion is long -- but the answer; he was resposible for the birth of a child, though he could have other children. the mother option was set aside -- her life being almost done,
strange reasons -- but life, real life not imagined, can bring such testing situations, and we decide out of our reasoning ability -- it could be right or wrong, we do not know that larger scheme -- we are only part of it,
But Hope of light is not so much of a useful idea, Gillena -- that religions and hence man has used it in place, and out of place through history...
the most important thing i guess is that the spirit of love must lead us, as an individual, and as a part of humanity -- through good and bad times -- all else becomes a subset then,
oh, i said hope of light -- hope of light, or light of hope -- all the same, i think,
what is the light we are talking about -- except the light of love that comes with acceptance of life -- and what is the place of hope if death is the next eventuality -- right?
Dev, i tore my self away from my lap top and went to my mother's for a little while; just got back home this morning; as always you are a deep thinker, and yes love shines a brilliant light;
Lorraine Frieda your appreciation is greatly welcomed

well that's my thinking

Great shot and some thought provoking stuff going on here.
MY TAKE? If stand upon the shadow it complains not yet shows the brilliance of the light...
Blessings, YAM xx
Strong combination of image and text.
Good thing for the shadows to be behind us, and us walking towards the Light.
Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting on my shadows. :-)

Certainly food for thought, we should all go towards the light (of God) and shine our love and light towards others.
Very much like your photo.
