"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within." ~Elizabeth Kübler-Ross-------------------------
"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine..."
-------------------------
Aware that the light is there. People I encounter tell me so even though the light is invisible to me. Perhaps that is how illumination works, through the reflection of others about the effect the projecting beam has on their particular moment. My failure is an inability to accept the message, embrace my effect on others and make a deposit in my self esteem or confidence bank account, or just feel the warm intention of the other person's observation. Learning opportunity. Affirmation.
Did I just say "confidence and self-esteem"? "Intention"? Hmmm.. maybe another baby step in trauma recovery. ;)
