The shadows Can See

The shadows are within us. We look for the pearl, but the pearl is there, too. How do we open our eyes when our eyes are in the shadows? We look within. Everything on the outside is out of our control. The only thing we control is our character. We can write, we can think, we can talk, we can share, we can contemplate. We must caution ourselves against the distractions of the modern world. I wonder how different the modern distractions are from the old ones? Ding ding ding ding ding. Bang bang bang bang bang. It never stops, but it never has. I hope some day it will. I open my eyes and look into the shadows. I open my eyes from within the shadows. I put my eyes inside a jar. I put my teeth inside a jar. I float upon the ocean, and I hope that I can channel something worth reading onto the page. Will I ever be like her? No. But I hope one day I can be like me.
