We are shaped by our thoughts;
we become what we think.
When the mind is pure,
joy follows like a shadow
that never leaves.
Buddha
The curtain casts a shadow at the window while I drift into reverie. I become the shadow dancing in the breeze. I gaze out the window watching shadows fall over neighbors homes and trees.
When younger, shadows were perceived as a frightening
thing, but as I grew older I realized a floating darkness simply brought a contrast to a view. An artist uses shadows to enhance the depth of the painting and the same is true in life.
Let us begin to perceive shadows as an accompaniment to help us discover the depths of a situation. Allow the shadows to help us discern the accuracey of a stiutaion instead of grasping at false facts out of fear. Step through the shadow or fear and you will discover joy waiting for you!
