“With the sun comes a shadow”

Find your “place in the sun.” Then, you are in your power. The shadow from your sunny self shows your imprint on the world. Be aware of your impact. With power comes responsibility to be more aware, as you can cast a shadow on another for better or for worse. You have the capacity to bring shade to those in need of rest and renewal. Or you can put others in the dark. Or you can disempower as you place someone in your own shadow.

Wherever we go, we bring light or dark. It’s a choice. Ask yourself, what darkness do you bring to others. Is there a shadow side of your nature that you are unaware of, or a shadowy nature in you that seeks to dominate or control?

Look at your shadow side. Observe more consciously what you do not know about yourself that is in the dark. Check out the shady qualities that you don’t like in yourself and examine what dims your light. Look at what you are afraid to show and expose.

It’s time to come out of the shadows and shine your light. Come out, come out whoever you are. To know and be aware of your shadow is to know yourself. In this self-understanding, all is well and the future will shine. Then, you are all of you, a sun wherever you go and whoever you touch.

Be vigilant to the other side of you
the side ignored
the side denied.

Look into the dark
and the light of awareness
will clarify.

Your shadow is your reflection
to know yourself is to know
this mirror of you.

Seek to live in the light
in perfect alignment
of the sun above
and the sun within.

To be a sun
know the moon
the power of reflection

See what shadow
and whose shadow
you live in.
Is it your shadow?
or another’s?

In your self-reflections
you become light
dispersing the shadowy
and shady.

It’s easy to have it made in the shade
but only in the heat of the spotlight
can you grow.

Seek the bright light
in the center
and become the sun star
that you are
Wake up! Power up! Enlighten up!

Are you in your power?
What part of you is still in the dark?
What do you need to look at in yourself?
Are there shady sides of your nature that you seek to enlighten?
What is your impact on the world?
Are you in the shadow of others?
