me and my shadow


as i meditated tonight, i did so (inadvertently) with my reading light on, instead of my overhead light. therefore as i sat, i looked at my shadow. now the main idea behind sitting is to put yourself in the moment, and let go of your ego. it was great, because as my eyes became soft, my shadow would lose focus, and eventually disappear into the wall onto which it was cast. it seemed to me a great metaphor for my practice. i'm not sure it is good for my sitting, however.
