Shadow and Light
The picture below was taken on the altar at Columbine Unity Church in Boulder Colorado. Behind the altar there is a large wall of glass with a spectacular view of the Rocky Mountains. I took the photo this past Sunday just before the early morning service.
I was struck by the contrast of the beautiful flower arrangement and the background. The light from the window caused the flowers to form a silhouette against the mountains. The result, I believe is one of those classic photos that you probably couldn’t make if you tried.
The message that occurred to me was the co-existence of shadow and light. The same is true in our life. We live with the shadow amid the light every day. The two go hand-in-hand.
It's the shadow that allows us to experience the light.
