Hiding in the Shadows


"Hiding in the shadows, makes it impossible to move forward." ~unknown


Hiding in the Shadows

by Ellen Bailey
Do not stand in the shadow of someone else
When you can cast a shadow of yourself
A shadow is your reflection on the ground
It must be distinct if it is to be found

Step out of the darkness and into the light
Display your personal talents without fright
A day will come when you are called to lead
Do not shrink from your chance to succeed

Move to the forefront and take control
Seize the challenges of life and be bold
Don't let someone else take your place
You are a unique member of the Human Race

Seeing the Light


"We are each gifted in a unique and important way.  It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light." ~Evelyn Dunbar

The last month has been very busy with much to do, decide and understand. It has been a time when I didn't know where to turn, who to trust or what to do next.  A time of both fear and relief.  Fear from not knowing what the future holds as well as relief from knowing that some things have to change... even if it's not the timing I had planned.

I've been wanting to find the light for a while... however dragging my feet, making excuses that 'after this' I'll do 'that'.  Sometimes my well intended plans happen.. sometimes they take longer than they should.  That's when I believe that 'God' kicks us out of our comfortable 'dark holes', into the light and back into life.

I'm still not completely sure about what the future holds or what and who I should trust.  However, I am getting some very strong guidance and direction whenever I crawl into my 'dark hole' of solitude.  That is were I pray, think, meditate and listen for the answers to come to me.  For a new perspective and understanding to go along with new ideas.  Seeing the light at the top of my solitary hole... opening myself up to a new and even better life.  Of that, I am sure of!
"A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways - by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul." ~Plato
