Shadows, indeed, may indicate the sun's presence, But only the sun displays the light of life.

According to Rumi, shadows speak of the sun, but only the sun gives life; when it rises, even the moon fades before it (“the moon is split asunder” recalls a sign mentioned in the Koran). Today, instead of dwelling on a shadow, turn toward a source of light: a prayer, a loved one, a ray of sunshine.
