In every corner the echoes lie, shadows not yet fully grown. They linger in spaces unnoticed, waiting for those who seek.
To extract a shadow from its binding light, one must first understand the void it fills. Shadows do not solely conform to the body that creates them. Every shadow has its history, an untold tale woven into its form.
Begin by standing still, allowing your own shadow to become a sentient companion. Look not with eyes, but with an inner gaze that discerns beyond the skin.
Remember, shadows have a memory; they capture the scents of moments gone by. Listen closely, for they may share a whisper of time's passage, a fragment of forgotten melodies.
Once the shadow is visible, capture it gently with words spoken silently. Mold it into form, engrave it upon the parchment of your mind and release it once more, free to wander.
