No matter how fast you run,
your shadow more than keeps up.
Sometimes, itโs in front!
Only full, overhead sun
diminishes your shadow.
But that shadow has been serving you!
What hurts you, blesses you.
Darkness is your candle.
Your boundaries are your quest.
I canโt explain this, but it would break
the glass cover over your heart,
and thereโs no fixing that.
Rumi
