Me and My Shadow
Gosh, there’s so much we could talk about today, it being Super Bowl Sunday, Groundhog Day, and a date that’s a rare, 8 digit palindrome! But since Groundhog Day is Mark’s favorite religious holiday, we’re going to visit our shadow selves and discuss how we might embrace our inner darkness. Don’t be afraid to face your shadow! 🙂
Quotes to ponder
“Beneath the social mask we wear every day, we have a hidden shadow side: an impulsive, wounded, sad, or isolated part that we generally try to ignore. The Shadow can be a source of emotional richness and vitality, and acknowledging it can be a pathway to healing and an authentic life.” ~ C. Zweig & S. Wolf
“I embrace my shadow self. Shadows give depth and dimension to my life. I believe in embracing my duality, in learning to let darkness and light peacefully co-exist, as illumination.” ~ Jaeda DeWalt
“So don’t be frightened, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than any you have ever known, casting its shadow over all you do. You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall. Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don’t know what work they are accomplishing within you?” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Gratitudes
We loved our Sunday together last week ~ talking about birds, listening to their calls, and hearing your fun stories. We are blessed to share these times with you all!
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”
~ Albert Schweitzer

Car-eography
You
may park in the driveway, as well as diagonally along the north side of
our property. Should those areas become full, please park out on Hwy
1, which has plenty of space and a nice wide shoulder. Do watch for
passing cars as you are exiting and entering your vehicle, though! The
carport area is reserved for folks with special parking needs. Out of
respect for our neighbors, we ask that you kindly refrain from parking
on Evans Drive beyond our property line. Car pooling is encouraged. We
also have a bike rack for cyclists!
