Random Thoughts #1: On Shadows And Reflections

Do you ever look at your shadow on a sunny day and think about its thoughts? Or your reflection in a pond and wonder if it lives happily beneath the waves?

Maybe your shadow is just another version of yourself staring up from an alternate reality. Would anyone notice if you switched places with your shadow?

The reflection in the mirror is another version of yourself.

Your reflection and your shadow are all perhaps the same version of yourself, reaching out through time and space to be one whole and complete person.

I embrace my shadows and my reflections.

If I stare at all of them long enough they start to look like one in the same thing.

That's a great idea.

4980560 It was just a random thought I had. I think of random things all day like this. :') I decided maybe I will start recording them in my blog. Maybe make it a series of sorts.

I actually wrote about shadows in my author's note on my most popular story, The Pony of Vengeance.

There's a purpose in shadow. The shadows help us to find ourselves by showing us the outline of what we could have been. We must not step into our own shadow, but, as writers, we must always learn from them. I have never murdered another person, but I must understand the motives and emotions that could drive a person to take the life of another, in order to construct a realistic picture of the world I want to draw you into. We must study evil to see how it works, and learn its methods, in order to further recognize it and avoid it.

It's a great thought nonetheless.

Food for thought for certain.

That's a very deep thought.

4980638 That's a really great quote. :) Thank you for sharing it. It is important to understand the motives of characters. That is part of what makes great writing and stories worth reading.
