So don't be frightened, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than any you have ever known, casting its shadow over all you do. You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall. Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don't know what work they are accomplishing within you?

To love a swamp, however, is to love what is muted and marginal, what exists in the shadows, what shoulders its way out of mud and scurries along the damp edges of what is most commonly praised. And sometimes its invisibility is a blessing. Swamps and bogs are places of transition and wild growth, breeding grounds, experimental labs where organisms and ideas have the luxury of being out of the spotlight, where the imagination can mutate and mate, send tendrils into and out of the water.

La spada sibilò nell’aria cozzando contro l’altra lama. Gli occhi verde cupo di Alex incontrarono quelli scuri del suo avversario, i loro volti vicini – l’uno glabro, l’altro cerchiato da abbondanti baffi scuri –, il respiro sul viso dell’altro. Poi con uno scatto Alex si allontanò, roteò su se stessa e la lama del suo pugnale fu alla gola dell’avversario, mentre la spada bloccava quella di lui. Urla cominciarono ad alzarsi dagli spalti, riempiendo l’aria calda e rendendola ancora più soffocante. Alex non si mosse, mentre le grida la incitavano a ucciderlo. Tenne gli occhi fissi su quelli dell’uomo che aveva di fronte. I muscoli tesi sotto gli abiti attillati scuri, le braccia lucide alla luce bianca dei neon. Premette la lama del pugnale sino a far sgorgare un sottile filo purpureo di sangue dalla pelle olivastra della gola di lui. I suoi occhi la guardarono furenti.

Shadow is ever besieged, for that is its nature. Whilst darkness devours, and light steals. And so one sees shadow ever retreat to hidden places, only to return in the wake of the war between dark and light.

What men call the shadow of the body is not the shadow of the body, but is the body of the soul.
Oscar WildeOur own place is mall perhaps, but when your old man is eaten by his own shadow, you realise that maybe in every house, something so savage and sad and brilliant is standing up, without the world even seeing it.
Maybe that's what these pages of words are about:
Bringing the world to the window.

Oh, Kendra, before I forget, Gavin asked me to give you this letter." He held out a gray, speckled envelope.
"Happy birthday to you!" Seth exclaimed, his voice full of implications.
Kendra tried not to blush as she tucked the envelope away.
"Dear Kendra," Seth improvised, "you're the only girl who really gets me, you know, and I think you're very mature for your age--"
"What about some cake?" Grandma interrupted, holding the first piece out to Kendra and glaring at Seth.

Everything that is,casts a shadow
Neil GaimanSpeak you too,
speak as the last,
say out your say.
Speak-
But don’t split off No from Yes.
Give your say this meaning too:
Give it the shadow.
Give it shadow enough,
Give it as much
As you know is spread round you from
Midnight to midday and midnight.
Look around:
See how things all come alive-
By death! Alive!
Speaks true who speaks shadow.
But now the place shrinks, where you stand:
Where now, shadow-stripped, where?
Climb. Grope upwards.
Thinner you grow, less knowable, finer!
Finer: a thread
The star wants to descend on:
So as to swim down beliow, down here
Where it sees itself shimmer:in the swell
Of wandering words.
