Living from the Depths

​A sunset spectacle featuring two mitten-shaped rock formations played out this past week in Monument Valley. Twice a year, in March and September, the West Mitten Butte's casts its shadow on the East Mitten Butte.
“A soulful life is never without shadow, and some of the soul's power comes from its shadow qualities. If we want to live from our depths, then we have to give up all pretenses to innocence as the shadow shows itself.” – Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul
Affirmative prayer: Today I embrace my whole self. Even as I look to the light, I draw wisdom from the darker aspects of my being, allowing my shadow to lead me to experiences of insight, healing, and renewal. I see the wholeness of my companions, giving thanks for the spectrum of each one’s life. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
