Listen, and lay your head under the tree of awe." offers Rumi.
I am grateful for Courage work that invites the recognition of shadow and its value in my life, in our lives. Instead of denying shadow, or considering it a wholesale negative, or a flaw in our character and lives, Rumi invites us to consider it a necessary companion to light. This realization allows me to consider his second invitation -- to lay my head under the tree of awe and listen.
"You must have shadow and light source both.
Listen, and lay your head under the tree of awe." offers Rumi.

Yes, welcome this, that.
Silence and music, and thunder.
Yes, light. Yes, shadows.
I welcome it all - joy and sorry. I hope that I can avoid the shattering glass by embracing what I do not understand and living the questions.
