How does a part of the world leave the world?
How does wetness leave water?
Don't try to put out fire by throwing on more fire!
Don't wash a wound with blood.
No matter how fast you run, your shadow keeps up.
Sometimes it's in Front!
Only full overhead sun diminishes your shadow. But that shadow has been serving you.
What hurts you, blesses you.
Darkness is your candle.
Your boundaries are your quest.
I could explain this, but it will break the glass cover on your heart, and there's no fixing that.
You must have shadow and light source both.
Listen, lay your head under the tree of awe.
When from that tree feathers and wings sprout on you, be quieter than a dove.
Don't open your mouth for even a coo. [rumi]
'what hurts you, blesses you' - try to fully comprehend this!
We need those moments of ostensible darkness to fully know how bright we can shine. Our boundaries prove as teachers and those closed and rock-hard places only serve as great reminders for where we wish to be. These moments, lifetimes of a sort, enhance our ability to see the duality in all and notice when things are truly wonderful. When that 'awe' comes, oh how fruitful our lives will be!
