My light is as bright as my darkness is opaque. (This is basic physics, really.) I am no longer afraid of my darkness in any of its shades of shadow. I embrace it with warmth and love. My inner-shadows are natural and beautiful. When I sit patiently with them, I get to know them as friends and as teachers. When I fought them, they knew me as an enemy and they attacked with knowledge of every perceived weakness I have ever had. As I learn to listen to their woes, fears, pains, and sorrows, and give them the same compassion I offer to every other friendly heart, they teach me lessons about loving myself and others - even in the darkest moments.
I know how to love the entire spectrum of my humanity, and through this whole-self-love I am able to hold compassionate space for those who cannot yet see their own brilliant light. (Just think of the healing shared with those who DO see their light!) I intimately know the shadows of perfectionism, depression, social anxiety, and many other attributes that shade the inner light. I love them as much as I love breathing!
I have come to know a truth so powerful no person (or any being) can take it away...
I am a healer!
I am a healer and I accept this spiritual gift with openness and gratitude. I can help YOU heal on every level, not because my ego is full, but because my heart is full.
May the Fourth be with you. ;)
