Reflections from a midlife journey
Dancing with light and shadow
As the summer solstice approaches and with it the longest day of the year, I’ve been reflecting a lot about light and shadow. It can be hard to remember my light when I am lost in the shadow of negative thoughts and unpleasant emotions. When I do find myself stuck in the shadows, there are things I can do that help create the space I need to find my light again.
Awaiting the light of dawn
This quote from Emily Dickinson came to me not once but twice recently: “Not knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door.” I have to say, this may be the best advice I’ve ever read for navigating transition and it’s exactly what I needed to hear.
