Shadows

Faith without shadows

lacks depth; it is  

flatly domesticated representation

of wildly multidimensional mystery.

Shadows are natural result

of light approaching darkness.

Both are part of our reality.

Instead of denying

shadows in your life,

try acknowledging them

in midst of light.

Shadows are still with you,

but light beckons you

to path where life is possible.

Grace is in the shadows.
