Let it flower ... From Italy with love ...

If we can't get ourselves to love, to be kind and generous, to contribute to the alleviation of suffering of others, just know that the Dark Side has won over us. We contribute through ommission and indifference.

The irony is that in most cases we don't even know it, because it requires courageous, reflective witnessing to recognize the shadow in ourselves and consequently to initiate corrective measures in our behavior.

The good news is that once the witnessing of the shadow arises, the process of dissolving the shadow has begun.
