The Feared Shadow

It is easy to judge and to run away from anything that we consider taboo. It is even easier to pretend that bad experiences dont exist in our lives but the hardest thing is to accept things we cannot change and to keep building on every little piece of our inner self to become the best we can not in the eyes of those around us but in our own eyes and in the eyes of God. To do your part is always not the easiest thing. It is often so hard to just stick to what you have to do and to your role in any given situation. As humans we love to judge, gossip and blame others for our own negativities. The shadow was like an open space, as cold as the wind that blows, as warm as the cosiness of a nice home, as sincere as a dolphin but not as honest as it should be. Everyone feared the shadow because it was so unexpected and sudden and no one knew how to control it when it spread like a cancer infesting everything around until one day I came to realize the shadow that is so feared is no more than a peaceful warrior fighting itself for a simple thing called LIFE, for something even simpler called HOME. The Shadow looked for a comfort zone which it only found in my own space, in my own life, in my own home. This is where this uncontrollable feared image found its peace and turned from being feared to being loved. I love the shadow now more often than I fear it . In fact I love it regardless of anything but I still wait for the unexpected and so the shadow remains feared.

The shadow found it all in you. Everything he ever wanted. Will always keep finding it in your arms like you said. He used to say, 'I'm here even when I'm not'. He meant it, every word of it...and he will love you no matter what...
