When we walk facing the Sun, we cast shadows. The shadows are not us but caused by light falling on us.

Our shadows are not us. In some sense, they are caused by us. Every small movement of the body falls with grotesque disproportion on the ground. In the most natural and connected of ways.

The shadows that fall on the ground are real. Visible and clear.

The shadows that fall in the mind are far more dangerous. In Jungian psychology, it is about the unconscious and dark side of personality.

They get us to tell stories of ourselves and our situations. Those stories determine our reaction to situations and challenges. It is in those stories that our future rests.

So, what shadows fall in your mind?

“What do you see?”, I ask him. “Well a lot of things. Actually a lot of lovely women”. Staring at light bring on its magic on an arrangement of wood panels.

I am taken by his candour. I didn’t expect it. We sit there in silence. I dont what is more magical. Is it the light or is it the shadow?

Between light and shadow, every life goes on.

Whatsay?

Light can be beautiful. It allows you to see. It brings inanimate objects to life. It helps you see. Every person who has been in the dark can tell you a powerful personal story of how beautiful light is.

Relish it all.

And even as you do, pause to remember that light can be blinding as well. It can create silhouettes of humans, obscure the finalise and make you sure of ‘reality’.

Ask yourself how bright is the light you revel in? What do you not see because of it? What shadows does it throw up? Is that shadow a tad too dark?

Some places are magical. Just magical. Imagine a psychedelic light show that happens every hour of every day. Every single day on the whim of the Sun.
The architecture of the temple at Rameshwaram gets light to play hide and seek at different times of the day and changes the scene for you. There are more than a thousand pillars. Each exquisitely carved.
Its amongst the longest corridors in a temple complex. It can make you forget time. You could just sit there and light bring about the sound of life.
That such capabilities existed in the 12th century strikes the eye nonchalantly. Man’s quest for making something spectacular has remained constant.
Truly magical, wont you say?
