Our shadow lives inform us.

Arches National Park, May 2009, (c) Holly Russo

"In our emotional lives, we are often the people that we cannot be in public. We are children; we are soldiers; we are murderers; we are vengeful judge and jury. Or helpless victim. Or whatever. Choose your shadow. We lead shadow lives. And these shadow lives inform us; they are very much who we are. So we must acknowledge them." ~ Cary Tennis
