No Shadows

Thinking about light and shadows.  Mary Stewart addresses light as a "pivotal aspect of three dimensional design" (p. 206).  Light defines art as we know it, more than some of us may realize.  The values of light have potential to enhance and create depth, depending on the light source.  Light, highlights and shadows cast by light, and the absence of light define our lives.  Here's a thought: Will there be no shadows in heaven?  I read in the Bible, the book of Revelation, just to find out what it has to say about that.  Verse 5 of chapter 22 reads: "And light will be no more.  They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever."  If God is light and God is everywhere in heaven, then light will be everywhere too...following me?  I do believe this might mean that there will be no shadows!  I can't even comprehend such a light source.  But I sure do want to be there see what that will look like.

  1. I'm fond of my shadow, actually. It's like my partner in crime. I think I'd miss him in the omni-light universe you and Revelation speak of... :)
