Shadows Shining Brightly as the Source of Light

Receiving lessons of acceptance

Chasing our shadows of doubt
turning attention to the source of light
Both leave us with great mystery.

Wearied song
or uplifting thoughts
our attention carries the tune.

Acknowledge the wolves
nipping at our heals
sheep’s clothing — invisible at first. 

Physical, literal
spiritual, metaphorical
embodiment — just the same.

~Ani Po

Our shadows can shine brightly as the source of Light through which awareness and mindfulness are achieved. Linger in the shadows, and that is where we remain. Turning attention towards source energy, receiving lessons of acceptance for all (you, me, he, she, we, they) — ironies of life, finding humor in the satirical behavior of man.

Thank you Diana C., Ravyne Hawke, jules, Spyder, and the whole Know Thyself Heal Thyself family for housing these words.

Much gratitude for those who take time to read, ponder, and allow the inner workings of self to come forward. Grateful for the feedback, love shared, and, more importantly, the Dance with Inspiration. Deep Peace.

Reborn into the Night

Spoken words of hearts true love

Oh to the sleeping bear
Waiting for awakened kiss
Sprinkled with love
Gentle whispers and a wish
Spoken words of hearts true love
Answered in native tongue
Conversing until dawns sweet memory.

Rested

Awakened eternal flame
Take my hand
Joining forevermore.

Tingle

Shivers down my spine
Observing greatness
Reborn into the night.
