Walking Shadows
“Life is but a walking shadow”. – William Shakespeare – Macbeth
"The grass withers and the flower fades, but the lovingkindness of the LORD lasts forever" - Isaiah 40:8
The landscape of Joshua tree is a collection of ancient rocks that were formed many years ago. Lava flowed upward and cooled while still below the surface. A series of horizontal and vertical cracks formed in the rock. As ground-water worked its way through the cracks, rectangular stones were transformed into unlikely shapes. These rock piles were exposed after flash floods began washing away the surface soil that covered the rocks. Today you can see rock piles that look like arches, whales, tulips, skulls and more.
My shadow was cast by the late-afternoon sun while standing on a rock that was high above the base of the arch.
