Light In The Corridor

 


"Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish
them with illumination and forgiveness."
August Wilson

Once again in darkness, I held the flashlight in my hand to wander down the corridor. I was not frightened, but curious as to what was lurking yet again in the creases of my mind. What exactly was I projecting in order to avoid the reality of how things truly were. Unfotunately, the more steps I took, the hallway simply continued to unfold into darkness.

Rather than prolonging this search, I decided upon an alternate approach. I grabbed my pen and journal, lighted a candle, and slipped into meditation. I allowed my self to sit and be patient, as I knew all would unfold. In repeated stillness, images began to surface like startled birds leaving a nest. 

Snow was falling and darkness hovered as I reminded myself of the importance of aligning the body, mind and soul. Without healing all parts of the self, I would never enjoy the comfort of truly being me. I welcomed Divine sacred light to gently flow through me, chasing my shadows far away.
