The journey we each travel in our lifetime is none other than the road to self-discovery and self-mastery. No one person can take us there for this is a personal and unique experience. In the end, we lead ourselves into and out of the shadows wrestling for their time to shine in our consciousness. With our awareness, as we illuminate each shadow, truth finds its way out of our depths into the sunlight. Slowly it emerges, at first uncertain and overwhelmed by the brightness until it is warmed by our embrace of recognition and understanding. With the emerging acceptance of each self-truth comes the recognition of choice. Do I want this truth to represent me, to be who I am in the world?
