PENUMBRAS
PENUMBRAS
Whatever gender , language, race, color, religion, nation, education or variation of the foregoing , if one lives upon the earth (where else would one live?), one is subject to all that governs, regulates, earth .
Therefore there exists a penumbral umbrella of being, of all existence, falling down, rising up , blending in us, through us, for us, all, who live.
This penumbra , this blest space of partial illumination that we occupy,
will lift like all eclipses lift, fade , go away back to the anterior recesses that preceded them and us. Amen.
