no regrets, sheer 

100% survival..

and beauty."

Striking Substitute

A  L  O  H  A !

 Isn't it funny

how life's shadows

can appear more solid

than the things that

cast them?

Shadows do catch the eye

but what are they really?

Just so much appearance

and always changing

at that.

 Shadows are

for emerging

out of

 Shadows should 

emphasize the

LIGHT.

For that is

their function.

Don't let the Striking

substitute for what

is Real.
