The light is beautiful because of the shadow.

Recently I have found it hard to be kind with myself.
I have been experiencing such ups and downs within my human self, as we do. And sometimes with emotions it is so hard to keep space and grace within our perspectives. Can be so easy to fall prey to misperceptions, to the criticising mind and to fears.
Such is the terrain. So much to hold at times.

We can’t always stop it at the time, or get it right, but we can bring forgiveness, humility and patience into our relationship with ourselves.

We can understand that growth is often forged through the suffering from times of blindness.

Seeds germinate in the darkness.

Sometimes we need darkness in order to grow.
