There is always light.
Picture this: it's past the beginning of the first minutes of a new day, only just past. I had been trying to sleep for a while when I finally decided to read instead. Sometimes you just have to give up and give in. Two puppies share the bed with me this night and they're sleeping soundly while I read.
A while later I decide to try it again and get ready to sleep: pillows puffed, covers fluffed, lights out, sigh and sleep.
But wait: I see something, or actually, I see a lack of something.
I live in the country where the night sky is as dark as an underground cave at midnight. When the stars shine they are brilliant, when the moon glows it looks like a bonfire it's so bright: but not this night. There's a heavy cloud cover and I can't see anything, well not much at least. Every once in a while I see a glimpse of something brilliant, shining and casting shadows on my wall, then, poof, gone again..
I wait and I watch. I am intrigued. Lots of clouds, lots of wind which I hear rattle on the trees, then flash, again, the brilliant lights. I notice that the moon is almost full and it's glorious. Then, clouds again, but not too many so I can see glimpses of the night stars.
I am loving this and notice that it reflects very much on the coaching that I do. Here's what I know for sure: abuse is oppressive, it's something that can take away a person's belief in themSELVES, it's something that keeps people hiding in shadows, afraid to shine. Once we've had a chance to work together, those brave souls who are willing to tread into a place of light and shine like they were meant to, are just so completely different. It's like the sky last night. Sometimes things seem to just be cloudy and hard to see through unless you look a little harder, wait a little longer and change your perspective.
It may be dark, but there's always light!
