TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.".... Maori proverb
This quote is right on target. Such a simple truth said in such a pretty fashion should be easy enough to remember. During my lifetime, I've stumbled through some pitch-black places when these words would surly have helped prevent melancholy. Reciting them as a verbal talisman would've chased away all evil thoughts and bothersome notions. Well, luckily I'm armed with them now... and they should work effectively for both wound prevention and damage control.
Gathering tools and weapons is each warriors responsibility, just as the use of them falls to their owners. But free-choice in all things is our best defense against attack. Being in control of self often is the only command possible and the only way to have any real influence upon the outcome. And to me it seems such a small thing to keep the shadows at bay with sunbeams.
The direction you, "choose" to point your attention is vital. Positives just naturally avoid the shadows, while negatives are like vampires who turn to ashes in sunlight. Pick the path with heart. Keep your eye on the prize, populate your space with people who add more than they could ever take away. Repopulate if necessary. Make choices with some forethought and create a reality worthy of your presence there. Why don't you... think about it... let it ride... then YOU decide???

I hope to stay mostly shadow free, but even if I must walk in shadows at times it's all good. I know the suns location, and its importance.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that there is a feel left behind from the echoing of my words. I plant my soul at my site and infuse my words with energy to be used by visitors.
I remember what it felt like to walk alone down an unfamiliar path. Am shinning a light for fellow travelers.
