In the Shadow

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one’s own sunshine. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

What does a shadow mean?
It means there’s a light…
a source of light…
affecting what you see.
And if all you see is the shadow
you may not see the light
because your back is turned to it.
So what do you do?
You don’t stand in the shadow!
Turn around, feel the radiance,
appreciate the warmth. 
Welcome the energy 
and put it to use 
to make the place welcoming,
comfortable, and warmed from the radiance.
