The Shadow Is Cast





"When the going gets tough, may I look for
a door to step through rather than a wall 
to hide behind."  
Katrina Kenison

Stones are heavy, yet we drag them around anticipating the need to put up a wall.  The barrier leaves us isolated and in darkness, not to mention the time it takes to  dismantle it. Throw away the stones and notice the uplift of freedom. 

Maintaining awareness indicates we are awake and capable of noticing the first sense of challenge.  We have ample time to observe the chaos and turbulence taking shape.  We do not waste time asking "Why me?" or "How will I proceed?"  Instead, we discern the lesson and the simplest way of mastering it.

There are many options to any given circumstance.  With wisdom we determine the most simple remedy.  Using any fear as energy, we propel ourselves forward to embrace the lesson at hand.  When we walk around boulders, a shadow is cast upon our path.
