Acceptance

Acceptance


You switched on lights
To see me

You see me
And
My shadow

Disappointed,
In efforts to see me without shadow
You switch lights off.

Now you can’t see me,
Nor can I see you.

Please accept me with my shadow
My darker side ……

atleast this way you helped me to see your darker side and did not keep it in hiding

This is extraosdinary thought.. Harshadji..very well said.. those who want to see your luminous side are not interested in your shadow..which keeps on changing sides depending upon from which side the light emanates..

Great posts ,these!

well put. blowing out the good and right out of proportion to the rest judged less helps no one.

I am awed by the simplicity and profoundness of this one. Truly wonderful expression.

Oh, the yearning to be seen for who we are, not just who they want us to be. Simple and profound, someone said - I agree.
