Between the Trees

It's where we're all living: between these trees {And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9)} and this one {On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22: 1-2)}.

Shadows, Part 1

There are, naturally, shadows between the trees. Within the past year, a number of shadows have fallen across my straight and narrow winding way. Some were mere wisps of grey, blown away easily at the breath of a breeze. Some were thick, heavy masses of black that I didn't think I'd ever be able to see through or emerge from. And of course there were many others of varying shades betwixt and between.

I've been thinking a lot about shadows as I've continued journeying. I've been pondering what they signify, and noticing that they sometimes look different from a little distance. I've been wondering where they come from, and where they go, and what imprint they leave.
