Kathabela has a wonderful backstory and message for us. So over to the poet now.


It has a sense of the mystery of life in felt then and still now. And comes from a feeling I still have , I think we all do, highlighted at some moments where we are brought to this kind of awareness. Often while we are walking our shadow appears ahead of us and seems to know where it is going.


That also happens passing a mirror. You feel like you are outside of your self that knows what it is doing!


So the feeling of lonliness after summer's end, and after harvest we feel that lonliness of afterwards...and highlighted by our shadow


approaching
