“Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow — it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.”
~ Shakti Gawain
What is hiding in your shadows, my friend? Are you afraid to find out?
The problem with that approach is that that thing that’s lurking is oh so subtly controlling you.
Don’t be afraid now. All it takes is shining some light. You got this, my friend. Whatever it is, you can handle it.
