Because we are human, each of us contains elements of both darkness and light. In fact, our light and our darkness is the duality that makes us whole. Often we acknowledge and value the light and attempt to avoid, bury or mask over the darkness. We pass judgment, quickly, on those we perceive to be "dark". To be clear, light and dark are merely opposites, polarities that exist in our human experience.
Can you think of a time in your life when your light and dark were out of balance?
LIGHT: love. compassion, trust, peace, passion, freedom, fulfillment, caring, delight, beauty, divinity, joy, health
DARKNESS: fear, perfectionism, greed, jealousy, lack, dishonesty, dis-ease, loss, suffering, pain, anxiety, depression
Only you can fully identify (by knowing your values and beliefs) what your perceptions of light and dark would be. This is very valuable information for creating our reality.
🍂 INSPIRATION FROM AUTUMN
As Autumn unfolds the days get shorter and the night gets longer. Darkness and light gently return to balance. Our focus today, as we follow the cycle of Autumn, is the darkness and light within each of us.
"I will love the light for it shows me the way. Yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars." – Og Mandino
