As always, you inspire me to look at myself and all the ways I deal with the world around me.<BR/><BR/>I do not mind being alone with my shadow - I thrive on it in many ways, actually - but I do find myself getting very irritable and cranky during times when I feel disconnected from my fiancee. Right now we are in the midst of a really busy week, and as much as I tried to keep the month of August open, it is starting to become "planned", which is completely stressing me out. More plans means less time to just BE. I like my shadow, but not when it has to go, go, go. I need it to be still sometimes.Swirlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657027738991952811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14694098.post-1122701082952034562005-07-29T22:24:00.000-07:002005-07-29T22:24:00.000-07:00I was poised over the keyboard earlier to comment...I was poised over the keyboard earlier to comment on this wonderful piece, then you called and I left the site to enjoy the sound of your voice. However, what I had in mind earlier has dribbled out and this thought seeped in as I searched by flashlight over this piece of land for a cat named Alabama Wiley.<BR/> The dark shadows were dancing all around me as I walked and shone the light through neck high vegetation. They waltzed when I moved my arm slow, and jitter-bugged when I moved it faster. Had I not had I not been focused on my mission, the shadows would have been frightening. Instead of fearing the shadows, each dark, moving form brought something else to my heart. Every shadow equalled hope; hope that it was Alabama. Perhaps my lesson is that shadow can be a place to discover treasures; to find something that is lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14694098.post-1122683685770075862005-07-29T17:34:00.000-07:002005-07-29T17:34:00.000-07:00Hi =)I've just started reading your blog, and I am...Hi =)<BR/>I've just started reading your blog, and I am really enjoying it!<BR/>It's so refreshing and encouraging to be privy to at least some of the processes of a person, seemingly very self-aware- such as yourself!<BR/>This post is a perfect example!-<BR/>And you even noted yourself the difference in how you NOW react to these shiftings within yourself-<BR/>Previously volcano-ish reactive meltdown! [I hear that! =) ]<BR/>ANYHOW<BR/>This post really reminded me of this mexican proverb which I have on my inspiration board, I seem to forget it often, but it's a good one to take on board:<BR/><BR/>El que es buen gallo donde quiera canta <BR/>A good rooster can crow anywhere.<BR/><BR/>So crow away!! =)Sally Veganinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440140722776624280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14694098.post-1122666559449588722005-07-29T12:49:00.000-07:002005-07-29T12:49:00.000-07:00Speaking of shadows reminds me of what my friend P...Speaking of shadows reminds me of what my friend Paul said when I was talking about the happiness I felt in the relationship with the man who is now my husband: "Where there is a lot of light there is a lot of shadow."

But its also an intensely painful part of ourselves to live with nonetheless. Today mine feels like its much stronger or powerful than I suspect it should be. Today my shadow has plenty to express that I really don't want to hear to be honest. Sometimes, I welcome a dialogue with my shadow. Often actually. But today this isn't the case. I wish instead for it to be gentle with and towards the rest of me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
