Day 56l: When shadows enliven the Light … (06/09/2019)


“Some have said that it is only through shadows that one comes to know the Light, and yet this is actually not at all the case. Each & every one of us knows the Light from our very first moment of consciousness — each & every one of us knows full well what is Love and Caring and Generosity and Kindness, and we don’t need a single moment of ‘shadow’ to comprehend or validate the same. And yet despite this innate understanding, so many of us choose to focus on the shadows of our encounters, and thereby sink ourselves deeply into the darkness of our own false radiance. So let us shine a Love unreserved upon others instead, and thereby draw forth the Light residing within them all.” ~ inspired by St. Catherine of Siena & Ralph Waldo Emerson
