The author reveals the good and the bad of his gift in a soulful revelation of his life. In the shadows darkly lit... we find many things. "The warm summer rain surrounded us with a heavy mist as we stood in the alley like statues along some forgotten path. They stood there pale and gray in the shadows darkly lit drawn to my light. I stood there all alone in a crowd of long dead spirits. The weather didn't bother them and they gave no real regard to the fact that I was soaking wet. What did they care? They couldn't feel it. Death rids you of many common worries. They had become passengers on the ride that was my life and all they were worried about was the final destination. Each spirit was waiting anxiously for their stop; their point of no return. That is, after all, why they had gathered around me." Excerpt from "IN THE SHADOWS DARKLY LIT" By Rodney A Robertson
