Shadows stretch long over the dry grass. Your steps are slower than those shadows,
so this morning, which might have already passed us by, we walk slowly.

The dog I saw on a late autumn walk moved slower than my own shadow. Like my worn-out sneakers, even when stepped slowly, the dry grass only answered with a rustle.

This morning, the ginkgo leaves by the roadside were falling just once more in the wind. Walking along at that pace, I thought it would be fine to arrive a little late.

The shadow moves slowly to match the old dog's pace. The grandfather in our neighborhood also walks around the wall at the same speed every morning.

The morning sun is settling in the yard, and a fallen leaf rolls by, brushed by the wind. The puppy that saw it woke up and stood up.
