I read Peter Pan a bit ago. And I can't help but laugh at the idea of Peter chasing his shadow around the nursery. How he lost it exactly I don't remember, but its so interesting to me that he had to get it back. Wrestling his shadow and then trying to put it back on with a bar of soap. I mean it is so silly and wonderful at the same time :) I love it. And then Wendy thoughtfully sews it back on to his feet and once again Peter is complete.
I wonder what it would be like to lose my own shadow. Would I chase after it as Peter did, or would I feel free? I love things to be neat and in their place, so I think that I would react as Peter did and try everything in my power to get things back to the status quo. But what if I lost my shadow. Really lost the things that follow me around everywhere I go. How great would that be.
