The Shadow Side


Do you see the shadow first or the sunlight first?

I try to remember that I can't have one without the other. When an unexpected blow comes in - as just happened to me today - my first response is shock, outrage, indignation, disappointment.

Maybe there is another side. A positive in the negative.

So I breathe. I absorb the surprising information. I notice the ripples. I remember there may be an upside that I don't yet know about. I know I'll cope.

Every silver lining has a cloud.
