"Keep your face always toward the sunlight, and the shadows will fall behind you." Walt Whitman.

I begin this post with an extraordinary quote by Whitman, which is full of great wisdom shown in a very simple way in a few words. Unfortunately, the explicit message of this sentence is not always clear to everyone.

I know people who only focus on the bad, on the dark, and don't look for the good in anything, and it stands to reason that if you only focus on the bad in things, if you only think about the dark, only the dark will come into your life. It's kind of like a force of attraction.

And I don't want to handle the cliché that black is bad and white is good, but if there is one thing that is very true, generally speaking, it is that if we only focus on the dark, we push the light aside, and neither (light or dark) can be appreciated without the presence of the other.

I wanted to share my thoughts and reflections on this. Apropos of my participation in a shadow contest. Since I've had a pet, almost 10 months ago, I take the time to go for a walk in the evenings usually, at least as long as it's not raining, and go to a park so Benji, my pet, can run and play with other dogs.
