Deep Thought

"You can't paint over a shadow."

Which is something I never thought I'd realise.

It is deeper than meer stupidity, though. Consider the Shadow.

It doesn't disappear at night. It takes over the world, except for pathetic
little pools thrown by streetlights. It doesn't hide in darkened roomw, it takes
them over.

Also, more profoundly, if there is a shadow of something, you will never be able to cover it up. It'll always be there, right in front of you.

The shadow isn't underneath things. It's always on top.

Of course, this came about due to sheer stupidity, and me trying to paint over a shadow, and then not having a radio to distract me while finishing the job.

Solitude is a dangerouse thing.
