‹› shadows of life ‹›
the Urban Shaman, walked quietly but swiftly through the door and into the foyer of, to her eyes, the rather luxurious brownstone.
"hello Sara" said the woman who greeted her. "so glad you could come by. my friend Cleo told us you offered wonderful guidance. my name is Martha; this is my partner, Samantha..."
"yes, yes, very nice, very nice, but no space in my head to remember names" interjected the Shaman. "let me see what we can see...." she then moved directly into the living area and began to stare at a wall, which prominently displayed the shadow of a window from elsewhere in the room. she 'hmmmed' and 'ahhhed' for a minute, then turned around to face the two women, close her eyes, and began to speak:
"you love and care for each other very much, and have been able to amass a significant amount of wealth together. this is all quite wonderful, and yet you are still not fully happy in life. why is this? i'll tell you why: you have let the shadows of past experiences put bars across your windows and dictate how you move, or do not move, in the world. shadows are produced by the blocking of the light, and somehow, you are allowing these obstructions to not only block the light shining upon you, but to also block the light shining from within you. it is intriguing that you both have the same obstacle to complete happiness; built from different experiences no doubt, but still similar in effect. in this, you have both found much comfort from the other, which is marvelous and helps you tolerate living in the shadows, from inside and outside...
but now it is time to help each other dispel the shadows. allowing the light of life to shine upon you and reflect back into the world at large. help each other move away from self doubt and the expectations of pains that have been before. now is the time. you have strength together and you have love. use them, and help each other move these obstructions from your windows. shadows cannot stay without the obstructions that produced them. remove them, and let light shine in, and upon you. oh, yes, you will still see shadows, but they will be of the moment and will move with you, confirming that you exist in light. then, you will be showing each other that everything is new... every day, every minute. a new beginning with every breath...."
the Urban Shaman then opened her eyes to gaze upon Martha and Samantha who were holding hands and nodding heads. a large and affectionate smile came upon Sara's face as she said to them, "yes, yes. that's it: do not let the shadows of the world or of yourselves put bars across your windows; windows which of course let light in and let light out.... now then! do you dear Ladies have any good food in the house? i'm famished!"
