such affection for myself?
and this smoky moon

embrace your shadows
How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also if I am to be whole.
~Carl Jung (cited: Sean Tucker, Embace your Shadows: A lesson for Light and Life)
The only time we are changing as human beings is in the shadows, the dark times.

thoughts
I droop my head —
Thoughts over the withered moor
past and present
