Exploring the Shadows Monday, March 21, 2005
|
“So I find myself in my fifty-seventh year, circling the house of my personality with a six cell flashlight, exploring the shadows around the bushes, in the corners, and behind the steps. There are a few bogeyman hidden there, and I don’t plan to invite them out to play. But they are less scary with the light on them than they are half-hidden. And then, behind an occasional bush, or halfway between the house and garage, my light picks up the hidden figure of wisdom, of energy, of life. The search is worthwhile. I wonder why I didn’t begin it earlier.”
~John Cowan in The Common Table

Dear Hearts,
I gota tell ya, I really related to that little passage. I spent most of my life not having a clue as to what my inner landscape looked like, or even knowing there was one. Although I think, in the way-back of my mind, I was planing an excursion through that dark and mysterious forest on some tomorrow or another. I guess kept stalling on it for fear of what I might discover: Lions and tigers and bears – oh-my!
Then, while fumbling through my 45 year I stumbled on to an interesting saying, “The point of power is in the present moment.” That led me to a book: You Can Heal Your Life, by Louise Hay, which led to an intensive on Louise’ s philosophy, which turned out to be an expertly guided tour of my internal universe. Oh-my!
There were lions and tigers and bears, and-more. Through the process though, I have managed to tame the worst of them.They now reside happily in an internal petting zoo that is quite an interesting place to visit on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
If you’ve been thinking about an inner journey of self discovery there are still a few seats left in our Heal Your Life certification course starting April 9th in Princeton New Jersey. If you can’t make it to New Jersey there are others coming up.
Love and Blessing,
Rick and Patricia
