Shadows of the Past

Memories from Near and Far

The setting sun cast shadows of objects in our window onto the wall and brought back memories, some recent, some distant. More recently, the enchantment of Bora Bora was captured in the photos and the shadowy silhouette of a wooden dolphin on the lower right. The carving was given to us by friends in Bora Bora and has been named “Fluma,” which is another story.

Also projected onto the photo and wall are shadows of old bottles that I found decades ago under the old house that I had grown up in. A couple are over a hundred years old, but their sight still carries me happily back to my childhood on the plains of Nebraska.

These are memories that had rested peacefully in the mind’s recesses until resurrected by random rays of the setting sun.
