"For now we see only a reflection
as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known."
1 Corinthians 13:12
“Maybe the only thing each of us can see is our own shadow.
Carl Jung called this his shadow work.
Carl Jung called this his shadow work.
He said we never see others.
Instead
we see only aspects of ourselves that fall over them.
Shadows.
Projections. Our associations.
The same way old painters would sit in a tiny dark room
The same way old painters would sit in a tiny dark room
and trace the image of what stood outside a tiny
window,
in the bright sunlight.
The camera obscura.
Not the exact image,
The camera obscura.
Not the exact image,
but everything reversed or upside down.”
"You can only come to the morning through the shadows."
- J.R.R. Tolkien
May your weekend be rich
with intimations of heaven,
dear friends,
that place where we will see
each other and ourselves
and our Good God
in truth and beauty.
Joining up with Sandra and Deidra as we all take time to be
a little less busy,
a little more attentive,
a little more centered.
