BOTH SIDES COUNT

"The cloud shadows of midnight possess their own repose."
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley ~

Some people think of me as a Pollyanna, but I'm really not. I feel happy much of the time and enjoy people and my life, but I have a shadow in me as well, and a seriousness, and a sense of struggle and fear. One side plays off the other and vice versa, and I cannot possibly experience wholeness and true fulfillment unless I embrace and honor them both.

I accept the dark in me as well as the light and know they are as necessary to each other as the night is to the day.
