Shadows




Shadows stretch through the house, across floors and against walls.  They fall behind objects, marking darkened space.

And yet faith suggests these familiar objects, and everything we consider real, are just shadows of much greater Realities.

 “Corporeal (human, earthly, mortal, tangible) things are considered shadows since they can in no way be compared to the saving and holy gifts of the God of all.”

-Origen (185-254 AD)
