SHADOW AND LIGHT

Life consists of polarities – light and dark, good and evil, sweet and bitter. We are no different. All of us have a shadow side. And it is this shadow or dark side that allows us to gain a sense of perspective, by allowing us to truly appreciate the light side of life. The more we acknowledge what we don’t like, the easier it is to see our gifts and strengths. It makes us a whole human being. “There was a man who was so disturbed by his own shadow that he was determined to lose it for good. So he got up and ran. But his shadow kept up with him, and so he ran faster and faster until the exertion took its toll and he dropped. If he had simply stepped into the shade, sat down and stayed still [meditated], his shadow would have vanished.“ -Chuang Tzu, The Way Filmed in Montagu, South Africa.
