Hay-Ku of the Day (Shadows of Light)

"What Is" when I stop
Looking at Shadows is the
"Light of God I Am."

"What Is" when I stop
Looking at Shadows is the
"Awareness I Am."

What Is" when I stop
Staring at Shadows is the
"Light of Awareness."

***

"You're the Light of the
World but can't see It looking 
At mental shadows."

"You're the Light of the
World but can't see It standing 
In your own shadow."

[Rich Note: The last two are haiku paraphrases of "You are the light of the world, but you cannot see it when you stand in your own shadow" from "The Return of the Dove" by Diadra Price, which inspired the first three.]
