we all have dark corners of ourselves that hold things that we don't want to see and we don't want others to see even more. I believe the more we reach into those dark corners and bring the light in, the less we'll fear the dark.
I often think that I revel in the darkness even though I've taught myself to be afraid of it. I actually feel safe in that darkness, it's when the light starts shining is when I retreat to the dark.
Not many people sing the song of happiness ~ why is that?
Why are we so drawn to the dark and sad?
We need to start celebrating the light and all of it's colors of happiness..... it won't be easy but I'm feeling it's going to be worth it, because we're worth it.

Posted by: Erin at November 21, 2006 01:34 PMi've been thinking about the dark places of my life lately too. i don't think i'm scared to see my dark places but i am scared that my dark places will be judged as wrong/bad/unacceptable and by default i'd be judged as wrong/bad/unacceptable. i think that is the fear i resist.
Posted by: la vie en rose at November 21, 2006 11:31 AMThank you for sharing this thought because it made me feel less alone today. I have been hiding in the shadow myself! Let's hold this intention together and watch what happens when we take in the light!
Hugs,
