I found this image on google images under the title "Allegory of the Cave." I sort of like it because it crosses the concept of shadowed truths with my Grannie Annie's ritual of having her grandchildren lay on their back and study their hands. She always questioned the carcass of human flesh and made us wonder what magic we could do with our hands. I am thinking about this because I am going to teach the "Allegory of the Cave" one more time this week. It is good ol' cave exploration and it is at the base of all I do and think. How are we currently trapped by our false truths and chains? What can we do to break through and discover more than we currently know? How do we know our shadows are real?
