first sleepover
at peaches’ cottage
for
babies b and j
and
we are
making
shadow puppets
on the wall
and
there is
a
feeling
of
magical electricity
in the air

I used to love shadow puppets when i was young Beth. That the shadow looked like one thing and then the hand looked like something (or nothing) amazed me. When I did an MBA, they showed us how to do that with financial records – the big people’s shadow puppets. Bwahahaha! Even reading Plato’s Republic – the scene in the cave – same thing. A very simple, amusing and fundamental concept in our world.
Great Post – love the pic.

The title is so true, great way to put it. Mortality creeps ever closer. From day to day, shorter of breath and one day closer to death…
