This morning words are not flowing.
I woke up with Carl Jung's words: "Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one's being, but by integration of the contraries."
And I thought it was a good idea to write about how often we divide people into good and bad—the good ones being all light, and the bad ones all shadows.
But words are not flowing, and my fingers linger over the keyboard, typing a sentence and then immediately deleting it.
I can sense judgement in my words this morning.
It usually happens when I'm flexing my cognitive muscles because I can't process some emotions.
Maybe because I don't want to admit that I often play that game, I divide the world into good and evil even if I know that there are infinite nuances in every human being.
There are gems in every human being.
Yet, I will never find them if I don't look for them.
And the first step is to acknowledge and integrate my own lights and shadows.
