Shadows and Gaps

Sometimes it takes a silhouette to draw attention to a spectacular sight that otherwise might have gone overlooked. The shadows reveal the shape and fullness of an object on the horizon while the last rays of sunlight poke through the gaps.

Lying in bed at night, I often reflect on they life I led that day – my own silhouette. The shadows are my successes: The things I accomplished. The improvements I made. The positive impact I had on people. The gaps are my failures: The things I put off. The time I wasted worrying about myself. The kindness I failed to show to those around me.

Tomorrow, I hope that my silhouette is fuller and more defined than today.
