Sodden winters are the toughest to appreciate, especially for a desert flower. Here's hoping we reach and think far enough to make it all feel worthwhile - and looking forward to that future coffee whatever the weather :-) xxLisa Southardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711376747848601409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500425810028077954.post-61016560150146344872015-01-18T01:13:10.984+00:002015-01-18T01:13:10.984+00:00Shawn and I were having a long conversation about ...Shawn and I were having a long conversation about integrating the shadow, which I have had to face longer and harder than I ever have before living in a gloomy, overcast climate when I am a sun-worshipper in the extreme. There have been times when he has wondered if I was actually struggling for all I was worth against a depression triggered by the lack of light and the long, dark days of an oppressive, sodden winter. Summer is a completely different story, with its glorious 16-hour days and its tyrannical heat. (Savored every sweaty second.)<br /><br />In any event, our long conversation included the difference between demons and shadow. Shadow is a part of us that longs for acceptance and to be intergrated. Demons, well, according to us, those are the forces that would set teeth to our heels. But then Shawn called them something else: illusions. For, finally, good wins. Why, then, I sit there and think, all the pain in the interim?<br /><br />'Perhaps they are the very things that make (us) reach further and think and bigger.'
