An Alternative Self. Who walks beside you into the woods on the darkest night; In Victor Hugo's poem, Hermann seemed like a shadow to me. We all have shadows. Even at night in the dark forest. Maybe you call yours by another name: your invisible friend. Your conscience, your soul, maybe even your complementary ego. Your shadow could have a name like Hermann. Or your shade could be your perfume. This is your companion. You can argue with your companion, you can challenge your companion, and you can test the limits of your own attitudes. You can debate the finer points of existence. But you can not lose this companion, never ever. It is your alternative yourself. As you move through life with and consider its significance. As you ask questions that have no answers. When you are overwhelmed by uncertainties, look to your shadow. Maybe you will get an answer. Maybe not. But at least you're having an interesting conversation. Wood, Earth, Flower.
