You may cast a long shadow, a medium-sized one, a short one, an almost-not-there one. But it’ll be there. It all depends on the angle of the source of light with reference to your position. 

Let‘s take the sun and you as constants.Time is an illusion. Your shadow is not. On a sunny day, whatever angular form you get  in your relationship with the sun as the earth moves stays with you. You cannot separate from it, you cannot outrun it. Your shadow sticks to you and vice versa. And that fact is a constant whatever you are doing, thinking, planning at any given angle. You cannot trick it, for as long as there is light there‘s your shadow.

So now we have a former President who cast a shadow that makes him stressing over a possible arrest. Why is that? 

If one has nothing to worry about one’s own actions, statements, movements – there’d be no reason to disengage from that shadow. In fact, you‘d have to worry if your shadow does not show when light conquers the dark.

Tomorrow, the earth will take a new turn and reveal the sun early on. The game will continue. . .

Oh God. 

George Burns sighed to himself. “What mistake did I make on earth?”
