Shadow Talk

blog.leonvictor.de

Let’s talk.

About darkness.

When there is light,

there will be shadow.

If we ignore the fact,

we might get scared of

what follows us at every step

in the middle of the night.

Let’s talk.

To the darkness.

That creeps up from behind,

when light is spare.

We need to talk.

To our shadow.

The side we push away.

We get taught to do so.

A shadow is not a dark place.

It’s full of light aswell.

But the kind of light that arises from the dark.

No matter how good of a person you are,

you are as dark as your light shines.

Do you learn to play with it?

Or will you get consumed by it one day?

A person can only be as free as he acknowledges the prisonment of being a good person.

Either we integrate our dark side of the psyche or we will never be truly free.

Being bound by being good or

growing by knowing of our faults and shortcomings.

What would it feel like,

not to play your character anymore?

To let your persona fall.

And to look behind the curtain of the beliefs you hold onto about yourself.

What would be left?

What would you find in that dark place of nothingness?

How would you feel?

Hello shadow!
