but there weren't many other messages after these.

The interesting part is that in the past I really thought about having an intelligent shadow, something like a spirit or guardian angel whom I could talk to when advice was needed..
And then I pictured the moments in which trouble was all over the place and I was desperately looking for some light in order to 'call' the shadow... and now I seem to have a free shadow. But how the heck do I use it? where is the 'on/off' switch? Is there some secret key-phrase I have to pronounce? I wish I knew... Hmmm.. All I did was 'work', but it seems that these days even 'work' can be an entire adventure!

Mmmmm... I really hope my shadow will get back to me in the near future... And now is the perfect time to pray for a sunny tomorrow; and wait for the second episode.
