shadow – Elizabeth Oakley Weaver

Release

You want to fly,
you got to give up
the thing that
weighs you
down.

Toni Morrison

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

Jack Kornfield

If you want to go fast, go alone;
if you want to go far, go together.

POETRY

is just the shadow of a dog...

The dog is elsewhere, and constantly
on the move.
