More From Howard Nemerov

Where there is light, there must be shadow, where there is shadow there must be light. there is no shadow without light and no light without shadow.... we do not know if the so-called little people are good or evil. this is, in a sense, something that surpasses our understanding and our definitions. we have lived with them since long, long ago-- from a time before good and evil even existed, when people's minds were still benighted.
Light Long Ago People
I thought the most beautiful thing in the world must be shadow, the million moving shapes and cul-de-sacs of shadow. there was shadow in bureau drawers and closets and suitcases, and shadow under houses and trees and stones, and shadow at the back of people's eyes and smiles, and shadow, miles and miles and miles of it, on the night side of the earth.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

Sometimes, when we're terrified of embracing our true calling, we'll pursue a shadow calling instead. that shadow career is a metaphor for our real career. its shape is similar, its contours feel tantalizingly the same. but a shadow career entails no real risk. if we fail at a shadow career, the consequences are meaningless to us. are you pursuing a shadow career?

Remember also: beyond the restless flowing electricity of life is the ultimate reality- the void. your own awareness, not formed into anything possessing form or color, is naturally void. the final reality. the all good. the all peaceful. the light. the radiance. the movement is the fire of life from which we all come. join it. it is part of you.
