your shadow

When you turn to the sun your shadow falls behind you so you don’t see it. the point is not to walk away from your shadow – the point is to embrace your shadow as a friend - it does not matter how good you are – it does not matter how innocent you are – it does not matter how peaceful you are – you are going to have a shadow. the world itself is your own shadow and every man and every woman and every object has a shadow existence – the person you think you are is only a shadow – what struggles within you is the shadow - the one who resists life within you is a shadow - everything that you deny within, every part of you that you have not loved, turns into a shadow – hold your shadow gently, look in the eye and kiss it – embrace it with all of your heart and soul –
