light and shadows.

Posted on January 19, 2019 by beth

kinders write by candlelight

find their own shadows

make a tiger on the ceiling.

—

“find beauty not only in the thing itself

but in the pattern of the shadows,

the light and dark which that thing provides.”

-junichiro tanizaki

I bought a turtle necklace in Hawaii that when you put to the light spells out Ohana and you have the same idea! It’s quite a neat thing…
