The Shadow Mysteries

Good Morning Fans!It's hoboclown and Flash has just told me that His Laughness(the divine guitar-strumming clown) has given him a new investigative assignment.Today, Flash uses his hobo clown detective skills to investigate the," shadow mysteries".Flash begins with the age- old question,"What came first, the person or the shadow?"Flash began his investigation by telling me," Everything has shadows!There are shadows in the woods.Some people call it shade. When I was a young man I once tried to outrun my shadow.One wintry evening I was coming from a party in the woods.A whistling wind and my shadow teamed up on me.I thought it was my 8th wife gaining on me.She was after my shadow because it knew too much! I jetted and tried to shake my shadow. I did a 100 yard dash in1.3seconds.Another reason why they call me Flash!"Flash then mused," The ancient people used to follow healers to let the healers's shadows fall on them to bring about a cure.To this very day shadows still possess mysterious qualities.They go everywhere you go and sometimes get there before you do.You can't hurt them and they make good companions because you can talk to them and they don't nag you back!Whether you take a car,bus or airplane they can ride for free.Sometimes though,shadows need first aid and the best remedy is a little flashlight. You know you're in trouble when your shadow goes out. Maybe if we collect all the shadows of gun-toters then the gun violence will stop !"I asked Flash why he thought shadows were so important and powerful and he replied," When people leave this world, they see a tunnel and move toward the light...to get their shadow back !"If you have some reflections of your own to share with Flash,write backand comment ...until then shake hands with you shadow..and stay cool!Love,~Hoboclown~Copyright 2006
