Ei - shadow

Not the sharpest photo I've ever posted, but I love a good coincidence so. A little story:

 

A few weeks ago, one of my best friends, Marcus, came to visit for the weekend along with his boyfriend, John. On Sunday morning I had to leave unexpectedly, so I

left my guests at my place and said "make yourselves at home".

 

Well, I returned two days later, opened the door and found my entire living room rearranged! (For the better -- trust me!) It was such a shock that I just stood there for minutes, staring!

 

Since that time I haven't seen my place in the morning light (it's that time of year where it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home). Yesterday (saturday) I walked into the room and found this shadow on the wall and it stopped

me in my tracks! The Big shadow is made by a wire replica that I

used to have in my kitchen...the little shadow is made from a pair of bookends that Marcus had given me for Christmas this year. My friends put them here when they rearranged the place (unaware of the shadow).

 

What really makes it special for me, though, is that hanging on the wall behind me (across from the shadow) is a framed print

of this photo.

 

:)

 

Just a coincidence, I know...but don't you like when things come together unexpectedly sometimes? When the universe *winks* at you, as they say?

 

It also reminds me that a sudden rearrangement can reveal unexpected

gifts (even if you have to wait for the right light to see it).

 

:D
