Publisher Description:

Shadow of Shadows explores life and meaning through the eyes and poetry of Ute von Funcke.

Life is a matter of constant development, in its course you become more aware of entanglements which have the tendency to make us blind. You continue your search for answers, see life`s balance, its frailty and its enormous mysterious power. This flame keeps you from losing your inborn search and astonishment, necessary for discovering the mysteries of and in our life. Seeking for answers to elemental questions, e.g. "where do we come from", "where do we go to?" as well as the challenge "to become what we are" accompany you on the way of maturing which has taught you to let go. It also includes relationships in the family, in and with nations, above all our attitude towards nature, its exploitation and misuse. Thoughts which necessarily lead to social-political and philosophical questions. A permanent trial to understand human behaviour, knowing we all are dependent on each other and what we become aware of. It also means to understand our responsibility and act accordingly.

A poet e.g. weaves a carpet in different patterns and colours which might evoke the reader`s own ideas and inner pictures leading him to become more aware of the preciousness of life which in the end means to discover love for and in life.
