I thought of Peter Pan's shadow but wanted to avoid writing a repeat of those scenes. I hope it worked.<BR/><BR/>Kyahgirl: What a compliment! I'm never really satisfied . I wish it had been a story with dialogue, but shadows can't talk, and even if they can, I can't think of what they would say.<BR/><BR/>Lammy: Thank you, too. I never knew what a philosopher you are.

Well, let's go...<BR/><BR/>Number 9: It's lovely and poetic and entirely worthy of the image. That's what I think.<BR/><BR/>Cheesemeister: I never saw the end coming, and it just reaches out and grabs. Wow.<BR/><BR/>Cooper: Credit Alexandra for capturing such a brilliant moment.<BR/><BR/>CyberCelt: That's a sad legacy, shadows made in that way. But there's something mysterious about the idea of shadows frozen for eternity.<BR/><BR/>Liz (ME Strauss): Your one sentence story captures the whole idea of the shadow and the psyche. If only my story could have been as brief.<BR/><BR/>Kyahgirl: I checked it out. Thank you. What a shadow she casts!<BR/><BR/>Young at Heart: This was wonderfully mystical and intriguing. I have to print this out. I have to print out all of these.<BR/><BR/>Cocaine Jesus: A special reflective moment. Lovely!<BR/><BR/>Miles to Go: Impressive! I never thought of the shadow being that of a little girl!<BR/><BR/>Sar: I think the photo inspired everyone. It's really great.<BR/><BR/>Piloto Automatico: You're always welcome to stop by, comment, or not comment. Very Jungian, what you said.

I've only recently discovered your blog... As soon as I get to know it better I'll probably send in some contribution of my own.

He began crying. He wanted some of Reyna’s soup even though it came from the same pot. Bo made a spear with his stubby little hands and chopped the air glaring at his mother. “When ya gonna learn to respect your elders little man? Looks like your dinners on the floor!” Dee pulled Bo from the table and set him on the ground to see the results. She reached up toward the back of the cupboard and grabbed a photo from an old album “Reyna I ain’t seen your daddy in quite some time-maybe ten years. They say he’s been in China. Here’s a picture of what he looks like. He is a pretty man and he’s rich too. He’s in the Train business.” They both turned to see what was gurgling and saw Bo holding his little knobbin “Bo-quit peeing in your cereal bowl!!!” Dee grabbed Bo and held his legs high. She ran to the bathroom but his reservoir was still half full so she angled him away from her. Reyna help wipe up the mess “Momma why would he visit us now?
