Today's art is from Remedios Varo (1908 - 1963), a Spanish painter in the surrealist mode who worked in Spain, France and, finally Mexico. She had many influences, artistic and philosophical, including, as one might guess from this piece, Carl Jung. Upon her death from a heart attack at 54, the writer, André Breton, described her as "the sorceress who left too soon." shadow walker at times we fall flat trip dive knocked down and our shadow attending sees seizes the chance jostles itself upright dons a new dimension and proceeds to greet the world with a jaunty stride an eager embrace and we small now are left behind to draw or pull aside the curtain witness in grief the steam rolling of a greater weaker being our excuse that which abides something of ourselves we love however cold and grey however averse it may be to any flame granted any offered grace thus released it presents itself with aplomb and will always attempt to shake your hand and not let go

You have a great way with last stanzas.
Very eloquent. Love what you’ve done with lowercase, line length, lack of punctuation, and stanza shape.
